[QUOTE="UNG, post: 546329, member: 8931"] The problem is while all these industry schemes have good intentions they all suffer from greed and it has become more about the balance sheet than the promotion of installations carried out by properly qualified operatives to a standard of quality that can be properly audited as an acceptable standard. Gassafe is always lauded as being one of the better schemes but from my own experience and conversations with other trades they are no better than any of the other schemes I think a review of all these industry trade schemes is long overdue as I don't think they are actually achieving what they claim and are now becoming more of a hinderance to protecting the customer with the lower qualification and experience levels they deem as an acceptable standard to get the badge The MCS seem to want to micromange all aspects of an installation even down to the choice of materials and equipment that can be used I'm sure this must create and come under restrictive practice and potentially exclude some manufacturers from developing new products that may meet the recognised standards but might not get MCS approval and and therefore not useable [/QUOTE]
