PAS 2030 Certification
What is PAS 2030?
PAS 2030 is the standard relating to improving the energy efficiency of existing buildings in the UK and specifies the installation process, process management and service provision. PAS2030 is intended to be used in conjunction with PAS 2035 which is the standard for retrofitting dwellings for improved energy efficiency specification and guidance. Prior to commencing an installation, under PAS 2035, the installer must confirm that a Retrofit Coordinator has been appointed and work in accordance with their specification.
The PAS2030 standard can be obtained free of charge via BSI
The PAS2035 can be obtained free of charge here
Registration with a PAS 2030 certification body is a requirement for businesses installing Energy Efficiency Measures (EEM) under Government funding schemes such as the Energy Company Obligation (ECO), or other Government and local authority funding schemes.
How to become PAS 2030 registered?
OFTEC is an accredited PAS 2030 certification body for heating and hot water system installers. If you are already registered with OFTEC for the competent persons scheme, you can extend your registration to include PAS 2030. If you are not already registered with OFTEC, you will first need to complete an application form for competent persons registration.
PAS2030 requires registered businesses to operate a quality management system (QMS) in line with PAS 2030. If you do not already operate a QMS, TrustMark has published template documents and guidance that you can download for free to quickly and easily set up your own QMS.
Once your quality systems are set up and you have completed the application form below, an OFTEC inspector will carry out an initial evaluation of your business to the requirements of PAS 2030 which will include an on-site competency check of a registered technician and a completed energy efficiency measure installation.
Once registered, technicians are issued with a PAS 2030 Registration Certificate and are listed on the Green Deal Oversight and Registration Body (GDORB) National Register as accredited installers.
Your business will be checked every year to the requirements of PAS 2030 and, if you complete more than 100 installations of a particular Energy Efficiency Measure in any one-year, additional surveillance will be required - this will be at an additional cost. Our registration team can provide more details.
