Non-certified route
Where a Section 6 Energy carbon dioxide submission (SBEM or equivalent) is submitted following the non-certified route
as part of a building warrant application, the submitter is tasked with completing this statement, with the aim of supporting
the local authority verifier in undertaking reasonable enquiry for the project. The information provided will assist the verifier
build a risk rating for the submission, which in turn will inform the verifier as to the extent of checking suitable for assessing
