Renewable Energy Assurance Listed

The REAL Assurance Scheme was set up by the Renewable Energy Association. It aims to guarantee a high quality experience for consumers wishing to buy or lease small generation units for their home, for a community building or for a small business. REAL membership is a sign that the supplier has agreed to abide by the high standards set out in their consumer code. The REAL logo is a symbol of professional excellence.There is a Supervisory Panel whose role is to oversee the Scheme. It is chaired by an independent consumer representative, Dr. Gill Owen. A majority of the panel members are independent of the industry. All the panel members are dedicated to representing the greater good of the sustainable energy industry rather than any individual sector within it.Read the REAL Consumer Code 2010

Construction Skills Certification Scheme

CSCS was set up to help the construction industry to improve quality and reduce accidents.CSCS exists to meet industry needs and is managed by CSCS Limited whose Directors all come from the Construction Industry. It is a Company Limited by Guarantee and therefore has no shareholders.The members of the board are from the Construction

Confederation, Federation of Master Builders, GMB Union, National Specialist Contractors Council, T&G Section of UNITE (Building Crafts Section), Union of Construction, Allied Trades and Technicians. The Construction Industry Council and the Construction Clients Group are also represented on the Board.

The Office of Government Commerce (OGC) through its document Common Minimum Standards for the Procurement of Built Environments in the Public Sector, states that governmental clients “are to include a contract clause requiring that all members of the supply teams who are workers or a regular visitor to a construction site are registered on the CSCS scheme”.

Independent Warranty Association

Established in 1985 with over 750 carefully selected quality companies nationwide, the Independent Warranty Association (IWA) is a market leader for Deposit and Guarantee Insurance within the Home Improvement Industry.EvoEnergy have undergone a basic audit prior to the IWA agreeing to work with them. This involved supplying references from suppliers etc. to ensure that all current obligations are being fulfilled.The IWA will back EvoEnergy’s warranty for its lifetime (5 years); this means that in the unlikely event that EvoEnergy should cease trading the IWA will fulfil the guarantee in their place. IWA also provide full deposit protection. If for any reason EvoEnergy are unable to fulfil their obligations then our customers will be fully reimbursed by the IWA.

The IWA is an insurance which is backed by Elite Insurance Ltd and is regulated by the FSA.

The Contractors Health and Safety Assessment Scheme

Each month thousands of contractors and consultants (suppliers) apply for work with public and private sector organisations (buyers). To win work, they must meet the buyer’s health and safety standards.

Assessing suppliers health and safety competence is usually a lengthy and time consuming process. Suppliers can sometimes meet one buyer’s Health and Safety standards but not another. Being CHAS approved reduces duplication as suppliers compliance is accepted by all CHAS buyers.

CHAS assesses applicants:

Health and safety policy statement;
Their organisation for health and safety;
Their specific health and safety arrangements to a standard acceptable to our buyers and to others.
