On 20 March 2015 we consulted on the features that a certification scheme would need to demonstrate for us to recognise it as equivalent to MCS. We also sought your views on the criteria and assessment methodology we could use to assess equivalence.
The consultation period closed on 29 May 2015. We have now reviewed all responses and, where appropriate, these will support the drafting of our second consultation in which we will be setting out the detailed equivalence criteria, requirements and assessment methodology that, when finalised, Ofgem will use to assess equivalence.
We would like to thank all stakeholders who provided feedback through those stakeholder engagement events. We received 13 consultation responses which we have published alongside this document.
