EXPLANATORY NOTE

(This note is not part of the Regulations)

These Regulations, which apply to Great Britain, amend the Renewable Heat Incentive Scheme Regulations 2011 (the “2011 Regulations”) and the Domestic Renewable Heat Incentive Scheme Regulations 2014 (the “2014 Regulations”).

Regulation 2 amends regulation 13 of the 2011 Regulations, and regulation 3 amends regulation 8 of the 2014 Regulations, so that version 5.0 of the Microgeneration Installation Standard is a relevant installation standard that applies to Microgeneration Certification Scheme contractors undertaking the supply, design, installation, set to work, commissioning and handover of microgeneration heat pump systems for the purposes of the Renewable Heat Incentive and Domestic Renewable Heat Incentive Schemes.

Further details about the Microgeneration Certification Scheme can be found online at www.microgenerationcertification.org. Documents published on that website are also available from Gemserv Limited at 8 Fenchurch Place, London EC3M 4AJ.

A full regulatory impact assessment has not been produced for this instrument as no impact on the private or voluntary sectors is foreseen.
