EDGE V2 is retiring, replaced by EDGE V3.
An important notice for those working on projects already registered (or Preliminary Certified) under EDGE Version 2.
The EDGE App Version 2 is set to retire in December 2025. Projects already registered (or Preliminary Certified) under Version 2 have until December 2025 to achieve their EDGE Final Certificate (Post construction). EDGE Final certification must be achieved by December 2025 for projects registered under V2.
EDGE Experts and Auditors would have advised clients on this timeline. GBCSA is sending a reminder, particularly for those projects that have not even achieved Preliminary certification, to highlight this timeline.
The EDGE Preliminary Certificates expire 3 years after being issued or 12 months after the project is practically completed (whichever comes first). It is anticipated that most projects are able to achieve their EDGE Final Certificate in this time. Kindly note that it is a Client/Client Representative responsibility to manage the timeline of their projects and certificate expiry.
Extensions cannot be granted after the expiry date of the EDGE App Version under which the project is registered. This means that if the EDGE App Version 2 expires in December 2025, then an extension for a Preliminary Certificate issued under Version 2 cannot exceed December 2025 – in other words, GBCSA cannot grant extension of preliminary certifications certified under V2 past December 2025.
