I’m signed up to the Competent Persons Scheme (CPS), do I still need MCS?
Yes you still need MCS. The Competent Persons Scheme enables you to sign-off installations compliant with building regulation only, which reduces the costs and risk to your clients. CPS at present are not certification to the EN45011 standard, which is the international standard, however, this may happen in the future.
MCS is certificated to the EN45011 international standard, which demonstrates that all your practices and skills meet the MCS standards and requirements. This includes correctly specifying the performance of the system offered against the users requirements. Your CPS is not duplicated as the competences you have demonstrated through the CPS are taken by the MCS Certification Bodies as part of your compliance evidence.
For further details on MCS requirements please call our MCS Accreditation team on 0800 882 4308.
