NAPIT is pleased to confirm that it has achieved UKAS accreditation to deliver the MCS Redeveloped Installer Scheme, reinforcing its commitment to quality, consumer protection and robust certification standards across the small-scale renewable sector. 

This milestone marks the next phase of our long-standing partnership with MCS and provides greater clarity for installers as the redeveloped scheme is rolled out. Building on this achievement, NAPIT is working closely with MCS to develop a comprehensive transition plan for existing MCS-certified members. 

This transition will start in 2026. Until further notice, existing members should continue to meet all current MCS Scheme requirements, including maintaining an approved Consumer Code. Further details on the transition process and key implementation dates will be shared early in 2026. 

In the meantime, installer are encouraged to visit the NAPIT MCS Redeveloped Installer Scheme page for more information. 

Lindsay Hague, Head of Compliance at NAPIT, said: “We are committed to supporting our members throughout the transition to the redeveloped MCS Installer Scheme. By working closely with MCS, we aim to ensure the process is clear, practical and delivers continued confidence in quality and compliance for both installers and consumers.” 

NAPIT will continue to keep members informed as further information becomes available and remains committed to providing clear guidance to installers preparing for the future of the MCS Installer Scheme.
