Simply Certification Secures UKAS Accreditation for D2 – Lighting Systems and Controls
We’re proud to announce that Simply Certification has officially achieved UKAS accreditation for D2, covering lighting fittings, lighting systems, and lighting system controls. This marks an exciting expansion of our certification services and reinforces our commitment to supporting the UK’s drive toward energy efficiency and net-zero targets by 2050.
As a certification body dedicated to simplifying the route to PAS 2030 compliance, this new accreditation means we can now offer fully UKAS-accredited certification to installers delivering energy-efficient lighting solutions, one of the most accessible and impactful measures in building retrofit projects.
What Does D2 – Lighting Cover?
The D2 measure under PAS 2030:2023 encompasses the design, installation, and commissioning of low-energy lighting systems and controls. This includes:
-
Upgrading outdated lighting fittings with high-efficiency LED technologies
-
Installing full lighting systems in domestic buildings
-
Integrating lighting controls, such as dimmers, motion sensors, timers, and smart systems, to optimise energy usage
These installations contribute significantly to reducing a building’s overall energy consumption and carbon emissions, while also enhancing usability, comfort, and long-term cost savings for occupants.
Why This Accreditation Matters…
Being UKAS-accredited means our certification services are independently verified to meet the highest standards of impartiality, competence, and consistency. It gives installers confidence that their PAS 2030 certification is:
-
Robust, credible, and widely recognised
-
Eligible for access to government-backed funding schemes like ECO4
-
Aligned with TrustMark requirements
Installers certified under a UKAS-accredited body like Simply Certification are in a stronger position to win contracts, meet funding criteria, and demonstrate high-quality standards to customers and partners.
Supporting Installers Through Every Step
Achieving PAS 2030 certification can seem like a complex process, especially with technical measures such as D2, which involves both electrical installations and smart control systems. That’s why our approach is built around making certification clear, supportive, and efficient.
Whether you’re a micro business, a growing SME, or an established contractor diversifying your offering, our process supports your business needs.
Why Now Is the Right Time for D2 Certification
With the UK Government’s focus on reducing building emissions and improving energy efficiency through initiatives such as ECO4 and SHDF the demand for competent and certified lighting system installers is growing rapidly.
D2 is a particularly attractive measure because:
-
Lighting upgrades are highly cost-effective and easy to implement
-
It’s a low-disruption option for homeowners and tenants
-
Smart lighting controls can deliver long-term energy savings
Becoming certified now ensures you’re well-positioned to access funded work, meet compliance requirements, and gain a competitive edge in the market.
