REAL Assurance Scheme endorsed by Climate Change & Environment Minister
Submitted:�27�September�2006
The Minister for Climate Change and the Environment, Ian Pearson MP, today approved the �REALity Check� as a symbol of the highest standards of quality and service for anyone thinking of buying a sustainable energy generator for their home or business.
Mr Pearson endorsed the REAL Assurance Scheme Consumer Code at a Renewable Energy Association fringe event at the Labour Conference, saying:
"This initiative is very timely. With interest in home generation racing ahead, it is vital that we keep out rogue sellers. By signing up to this Code, reputable companies can show clearly that they are not in the business of misleading or tricking well-meaning consumers into buying systems that are not suitable for their homes, or that do not work as well as expected."
Also, the new website, providing businesses and consumers information about the REAL Assurance Scheme and its Consumer Code is now live.
