Approved Retrofit Coordination IQAS Systems

Annex B of PAS2035 provides the ability for installers working under an Approved Industry Quality Assurance Scheme (IQAS) to reduce the Inherent Technical Risk (ITR) of a measure for the purposes of assessing the PAS2035 risk pathway providing the installer complies with the IQAS requirements under the PAS.
 
Currently there are only two approved IQAS and one of them is the CIGA/IAA Scheme which requires installers to be operating under The IAA end to end offer and applies only to approved systems under an Agrement Certificate.
 
The following list provides details of Systems for which the ITR can be reduced under PAS2035 and indicates those installers approved for the system. If an installer does not appear against the proposed system then the ITR should not be permitted to be reduced. Equally if a system does not appear on the list then The ITR should not be permitted to be reduced.
 
This list will be updated on an ongoing basis and Retrofit Coordinators and Retrofit Coordinator Certification bodies are advised to check the list before permitting the reduction in the ITR.  For further advice or enquiries please contact enquiries@theiaa.co.uk.

Risk Assessment – extract from PAS 2035:19 standards
 
B.5 Any industry quality assurance scheme used to claim a reduction of inherent technical risk, as referred to in B.2, shall apply only to measures that are proprietary systems (not individual materials and components) and shall have at least the characteristics set out in B.6.
 
B.6 The industry quality assurance scheme shall:
1) be operated by a body independence of the system provider and the installer (referred to here as the scheme operator);
2) subject system providers to initial and regular assessments of their technical and financial resources and documented management systems;
3) include provisions for the imposition of sanctions (including possible removal from the scheme) on members who do not comply with the scheme rules;
4) require maintenance by the scheme operator of expertise to investigate complaints and assist with their resolution;
5) require that

• systems and their components are subject to independence technical approval by a UKAS accredited body;
• the UKAS accredited body carries out independent checks of manufacturing activity at least annually;
• any equipment used to install a system is tested, calibrated and plated for the system;
• procedures are in place to ensure that only installers approved by the system providers can purchase or install their systems;
• materials and components for systems are appropriately stored and handled, and traceable via an audit process;
• systems’ documentation includes generic method statements for their correct installation;
• systems’ documentation includes appropriate care and maintenance instructions;
• systems are covered by independent guarantees of the materials and products used, and of any designs prepared by system providers; and
• system providers hold appropriate professional indemnity assurance;
