Water UK
has confirmed that all operators are expected to hold the MSCC5 certification
in Pipe Sewer Condition Classification from the start of AMP7.
If
contractors have not acted on the previous warnings and still have rig managers
with MSCC4 certificates they may have been eligible to compete for tenders BUT they will need to demonstrate a
structured plan to show that all rig managers will have achieved the required
certification by April 2022.
It
should be noted that MSCC3 certificates or older will not be considered.
Do not
be complacent with regard to certification or the accuracy of your data if you
are on extended contract periods beyond 1st April 2020.
