The CCS Scheme Rules – new version!

Posted: 31 July, 2014. Written by Justyna

The new version of the CCS Scheme rules version 7 has been issued on 31st July 2014. 

The draft version of the Scheme rules was sent for consultation to certified producers, the certification bodies, regulators and members of the Technical Advisory Committee this spring. Thank you to all of you who provided us with comments & suggestions which we found very useful.  We collated & reviewed all of the responses and you can find the record of this process in the Governance section.

Transitional period

The new Scheme Rules supersedes the old version from 1st October 2014. Within the interim period, between 1st August and 1st October 2014, the participants of CCS must comply with the Scheme Rules v6 (old version).

We believe that this transitional period gives you an opportunity to become familiar with the version 7 of the Scheme Rules.
