Ask if they have smelt any gas on bothSo what would you do if there’s a 1.5 mbar drop
Or an 7.5 mbar drop on an electronic one

I’m confused at this post?
What do you mean ?
I could be done for trying to find a leak ?
I know it’s permissible but surely it’s better to be 100% tight if possible ?
I get that mate , I just have mad OCDnext time you do a test after your done put your hand on the gas pipe and watch the gauge now imagine a windy / cloudy day the gauge could go down 3 - 4 mbar for nothing just a bit chilly
And yes as it’s within safe limits so in short your making work for your self
So if in that situation, you had a 3mbar drop on a g4 metre, your conscience gets the better of you and you decide to investigate. You isolate the appliances and prove the pipework is sound. You then test each appliance individually and find the gas valve on the fire is passing. What then? Do you leave it or have to condem it?

Yeah but 3mbar is within tolerance so would you still have to cap it?Have to remove / cap the appliance with permission if the original test was outside specd limits for said meter
