Under the Domestic Renewable Heat Incentive (RHI) all contractors must be Microgeneration Certification Scheme (MCS) certified. MCS is the leading standards and quality assurance organisation in the domestic renewable heating sector. For products to be eligible for the RHI, they must be MCS certified, and for installations to be eligible, they must be carried out to the relevant MCS installation standard for that technology. As part of MCS certification, installers must also be a member of a Chartered Trading Standards Institute approved consumer code, to which consumers will have access, should there be problems with the installation.
