This standard has been approved by the Steering Group of the MCS.

This standard was prepared by the MCS Working Group 6 ‘Heat Pumps’.

REVISION OF MICROGENERATION INSTALLATION STANDARDS Microgeneration Installation Standards will be revised by issue of revised editions or a m e n d m e n t s . D e t a i l s w i l l b e p o s t e d o n t h e w e b s i t e a t www.microgenerationcertification.org

Technical or other changes which affect the requirements for the approval or certification of the product or service will result in a new issue. Minor or administrative changes (e.g. corrections of spelling and typographical errors, changes to address and copyright details, the addition of notes for clarification etc.) may be made as amendments.

The issue number will be given in decimal format with the integer part giving the issue number and the fractional part giving the number of amendments (e.g. Issue 3.2 indicates that the document is at Issue 3 with 2 amendments).

Users of this Standard should ensure that they possess the latest issue and all amendments.
