Recital 28
(28) A coordinated approach is needed to develop training and appropriate certification should be made available to small scale renewable energy equipment installers in order to avoid market distortions and to ensure high quality products and service provision for consumers. National certification schemes should be mutually recognised by Member States and should therefore be based on minimum harmonised principles, taking into account European technology standards, and existing training and qualification regimes for renewable energy equipment installers. Directive 2005/36/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 7 September 2005 on the recognition of professional qualifications should continue to apply to issues not governed by this Directive, such as the recognition of professional qualifications of installers notgovern the recognition of professional qualifications for regulated professions. In so far as entering or exercising the profession of installer is regulated, the preconditions for recognition of professional qualifications are laid down in Directive 2005/36/EC; these preconditions should also apply to installers certified in onea Member State.
