The purpose of Competent Person Schemes is to allow certified and registered businesses to self-certify the compliance of controlled work in buildings that is subject to the Building Regulations. This process removes the need to seek approval from the building control service before work starts. The Building Safety Act 2022 and associated secondary legislation introduces general duties in relation to planning and managing building work that is subject to the requirements in the Building Regulations.

The Mandatory Technical Competence (MTC) Framework Document is designed to provide confidence to all stakeholders in the installation process that work is conducted safely and to required industry standards within the regulatory framework.

The MTC criteria sets out the mandatory skills, knowledge, experience, behaviours and Continuing Professional Development (CPD) requirements that will ensure that an individual working within the business has the appropriate skills, knowledge, experience and behaviours to undertake work in a Competent Person Scheme designated in Schedule 3 of the Building Regulations and is designed to be in-line with the relevant Regulated Qualification Framework (RQF) level or personal certification as specified in each sector specific annex. The requirements include working in a safe manner, customer care and technical aspects of the work when working in a client’s premises and on construction sites.
