Gas Safe Register
Gas Safe Register is the new hallmark for gas safety in Great Britain. On 1 April 2009, Gas Safe Register replaced CORGI gas registration as the official gas safety body.
So, from 1 April 2009, by law, only Gas Safe registered engineers should carry out work on gas appliances or installations in your home.

Competent Person Self-Certification Schemes
Competent person schemes were introduced by the Government to allow individuals and enterprises, competent in their field, to self-certify that their work complies with the Building Regulations as an alternative to submitting a Building Regulation application. Where you use a member of one of these schemes a Building Regulations application is not required.
It is hoped that self-certification will:
- significantly enhance compliance with the requirements of the Building Regulations,
- reduce costs for firms joining recognised schemes,
- promote training and competence within the industry.
