How do I know an EPC is authentic?
An EPC should be properly recorded, by the energy assessor, in the central register for non-dwellings which contains all EPCs. An EPC is identified by a unique reference number that relates only to your premises. If you have commissioned an EPC for your building you will receive a copy of
the certificate. If you have been given an EPC and wish to check its authenticity, you can
access the register by entering the reference number on the certificate. If you cannot find your
certificate in the register or you have any concerns regarding the authenticity of the information contained within the certificate, you should contact the accreditation body of your energy assessor. The energy assessor details, their accreditation scheme and their membership
number should be on the certificate.
Neither an EPC nor a recommendation report is authentic unless it has been
lodged in the register.
