PARLIAMENTARY WRITTEN QUESTION
Housing: Energy (25 January 2022)

To ask the Secretary of State for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy, if his Department will implement a single accreditation and enforcement scheme, similar to the Gas Safe Register, for use by the public when installing low carbon technologies in their homes.

Asked by:
Navendu Mishra (Labour)

The Government oversees authorisation of a number of competent person schemes, including the Gas Safe Register. This includes schemes covering installers of low carbon technologies, each with relevant accreditation bodies ensuring compliance with Building Regulations.

Due to the different specialisms and skills required for competent installers of different technologies there are currently no plans to introduce a single accreditation scheme operator.
