  1. Quality certification & accreditation for installers of small-scale renewable energy systemsIntelligent Energy QualiCert 1st of July 2009 – 31st of December 2011 www. qualicert-project.eu Project duration: 01-07-2009 to 31-12-2011 Slides April 2012

  2. QualiCert starting point • The RES Directive (2009), Article 14.3stresses the importance of qualification and certification of RES installers: high quality installations ensure maximum benefits from the RES technologies • “MS shall ensure that certification schemes or equivalent qualification schemes become or are available by 31 December 2012 • for installers of small-scale biomass boilers and stoves, • solar photovoltaic and solar thermal systems, • shallow geothermal systems and heat pumps. • Each MS shall recognise certification • awarded by other Member States”. Project duration: 01-07-2009 to 31-12-2011 Slides April 2012

  3. Difficulties to tackle in the certification and qualification process of RES installers • Cost of training and certification for installers and companies • Administrative burden • Gaining the support and recognition from pulic authorities for the certification & qualification schemes • Mutual recognition of the schemes across Europe and variety differences between already existing schemes • Legislative changes Project duration: 01-07-2009 to 31-12-2011 Slides April 2012

  4. QualiCert objectives • Develop recommendations to MS during their process of writing national • schemes for quality certification or equivalent qualification for installers: • For different technologies (solar thermal, PV, biomass, geothermal, heat pumps) • In close collaboration with installers (via their EU associations representing their interests) to ensure the easy application of the developed system in the market • In order to have a common framework that can be translated into the different Member States and that ensures that the schemes are thus mutually recognisable Project duration: 01-07-2009 to 31-12-2011 Slides April 2012

  5. QualiCert outcomes • Baseline and document production: • Manual with key success criteria for certification & qualifications schemes, defined according to 5 criteria: technical legal, financial, institutional and promotional • Glossary specific to the certification process • State of the art of existing schemes inside and outside the EU • QualiCert activities: • Political endorsement of the QualiCert manual withnational authorities and stakeholders in Italy, Poland, Greece, France and Austria, for Article 14.3 implementation process Project duration: 01-07-2009 to 31-12-2011 Slides April 2012
