PAS 2030 ECO Installations

PAS 2030 certification is required for any company or individual installing energy efficiency measures, such as insulation or heating systems, under schemes like ECO, GBIS, SHDF, LADS or the Green Deal. It’s designed to promote correct and consistent installation practices.

Those who need PAS 2030 certification:

• Installers providing energy efficiency installations such as insulation or heating systems.
• Businesses acting as subcontractors in large-scale energy efficiency projects must also comply with PAS 2030 to provide quality assurance and eligibility for government programs.
• Firms delivering energy-saving measures under ECO are required to work with PAS 2030 installers.
• Property managers and developers involved in retrofitting existing properties for improved energy efficiency may need to engage PAS 2030-certified contractors to access funding and meet legal obligations.

PAS 2030 is a crucial certification for companies that install energy efficiency measures in existing buildings. It helps organisations to deliver installations that are performed to high standards. It is especially important for businesses to participate in government-endorsed schemes like ECO, GBIS, SHDF, LADS or the Green Deal.

Achieving PAS 2030 is important for several reasons:

• Supports quality and consistency – PAS 2030 standardises installation practices, reducing the risk of faults and ensuring high-quality work.
• Builds customer trust – It acts as a mark of competence and professionalism, providing customers with confidence in the quality of installations.
• Supports environmental goals – By contributing to lowering carbon emissions and improving building energy efficiency, PAS 2030 supports the UK’s environmental objectives.
• Reduces long-term costs – It maximises energy savings for property owners, leading to lower energy bills and fewer maintenance needs.
• Encourages industry improvement – Continual improvement is promoted through regular audits and staff training.
• Supports legal compliance – It helps businesses comply with industry regulations, reducing the risk of legal issues.

When you achieve your PAS 2030 certification with us, it will be accredited by the United Kingdom Accreditation Service (UKAS). UKAS accreditation is a key part of the confidence we can guarantee our clients. Our UKAS-accredited PAS 2030 certification comes with the coveted Crown & Tick mark, which proves to your clients that it is supported by the authority and credibility of a government-appointed accreditation body.

The PAS 2030 certification usually lasts 12 months from inspection. During this time, your business is expected to maintain compliance with all the requirements outlined in the PAS 2030 standard. However, maintaining this certification is not a one-time process – it requires continual effort and adherence to standards. Annual surveillance audits are needed for ongoing compliance.

The purpose of the Green Deal Quality Mark is to build trust and confidence in the Green Deal amongst the public and stakeholders. The Quality Mark can be used by all Green Deal assessors, providers, installers and by certification bodies on identifying documents and any marketing materials.
