MCS Installations Database (MID) guidance for Certification Bodies

The MCS Installations Database, often abbreviated to the MID, is a central online database that holds the information of every MCS certified small-scale, low-carbon installation in the UK since 2008.

Below provides guidance documentation to help when using the MID as both an installer and product certification body.

Installer Certification Bodies

For Installer Certification Bodies, you can use the MID to create, amend and view installer profiles as well as view the installation records of any installers you have certified.

The information on an installer’s profile page within the MID must be accurate, as this is the information that will be displayed on our installer search tool.

Product Certification Bodies

The MID also allows for the upload and removal of certified products by Product Certification Bodies. 

It is important that all product information added to the MID is accurate and kept up to date, as these products are used by installers on installations and MCS certificates.
