First Multi-Utility Registration Scheme client is re-accredited for a further three years

Morrison Utility Services is the first client to be re-appraised under the new Multi-Utility Registration Scheme (MURS). It has now received certificates accrediting it for a further three years to do work under the electricity, gas and water utility registration schemes operated by Lloyd's Register. This follows the change made in April this year to give MURS status to utility connection providers who are registered for all three schemes.

MURS provides benefits to both utility connection providers and to the administration of the schemes. As the common elements of the three utility schemes are covered in a single assessment it reduces both assessor involvement and client support time. Morrison were impressed with this aspect of the new scheme. Having now trialled combined assessment with Morrison, integrated MURS audits will be used when the accreditation of other multi-utility clients comes up for renewal.
