GAS WORK NOTIFICATION SCHEME

From 1st April 2005 CORGI introduced it's 'Complete Safety Initiative'.  A new scheme whereby the installation of any new or replacement heat producing gas appliance in a residential dwelling must be notified to CORGI making your home a safer place and making it more difficult for bogus gas engineers to continue working.

Research showed that faulty gas appliances are responsible for a number of deaths and injuries that occur in the home.  In order to reduce this risk Gas Work Notification has been introduced to increase safety standards.

When a new or replacement installation has taken place, the CORGI engineer must notify CORGI that the work has been carried out and CORGI will issue the homeowner with a 'Declaration of Safety' or 'Building Regulations Compliance Certificate' confirming that the work has been carried out by a competent CORGI registered installer and that the installation meets the requirements of the relevant Gas/Electric/Water/Building Regulations and good practice.

Remember - Please ask for the CORGI card of anyone working on your gas appliances or controls.
