ACS Assessment Documentation Updates

All four assessment suites have been updated, and are now accessible from BPEC’s secure file transfer portal (SFTP).

These updates must be implemented into our centres for the 1st January 2019. The updates for future assessment documentation has changed from twice a year to once a year (every 1st January) unless there is a safety critical update required by the scheme.

The changes to the documentation are due to legislation changes, a new Gas Industry Unsafe Situation Procedure (IGEM/G/11) and LPG / commercial changes to various standards. Please note all four suites have been affected by the changes identified.

Please contact Grant Davies or Rob Barker from the Certification Team should you have any questions.
