Checking the authenticity of an energy assessor

An EPC may only be produced by an accredited energy assessor. Energy assessors must be a member of an approved accreditation scheme.

To check that an energy assessor is a member of an accreditation scheme, a search facility is available on the register website. If a person does not have access to the internet they can ask the energy assessor for the name of the accreditation scheme of which they are a member and for their membership number.

This information will help the person who has commissioned the EPC to confirm with the accreditation scheme that the energy assessor is accredited and fit and proper to practice as an energy assessor and to produce the EPC for the type of building being assessed.
