From 1 April 2009 Gas Safe Register took over the running of the mandatory gas registration scheme for plumbing and heating engineers working legally with gas in England, Scotland, Wales and Isle of Man.

So, Gas Safe Register, not CORGI is now the watch dog for gas safety in Great Britain and Isle of Man.

CORGI still runs the gas registration scheme for Northern Ireland and the Channel Islands and remains responsible for promoting gas safety in these territories.

What does Gas Safe Register do?

• raise awareness of carbon monoxide poisoning to the general public

• provide gas safety advice

• maintain the mandatory register of competent businesses working with gas

• ensure that gas safe registered businesses carry out work safely and in accordance with current legislation

• provide consumers with information about gas safe registered businesses in their area

Always remember to check that the installer holds a valid gas safe register card. Any person carrying out DIY work or an unregistered tradesman carrying out such work is not only breaking the law but endangering the occupants of the premises.
