Discuss Can i service my own boiler if am not gas safe registered in the Plumbing Jobs | The Job-board area at PlumbersForums.net
anybody who is willing to service there own boiler when not competent to do so wont care either way what the regs state, muggers know its against the law to mug somebody..... do they care?
I think this thread is weather you can service your own boiler if competant but not registered
as puddle states does it really matter?
In reality i come across so much gas diy its unreal and what do gas safe do???
nothing!!!
So its irrelevant because people will service there own boiler competant or not .
I was mearly saying that if somebody who is unregistered wants to service there own boiler they are unlikely to care what and how its written in the regulations. Any competent person will be registered and working in the industry, if you are not then why be bothered whats written down as you dont care enough to follow it anyway.
I can't believe I've allowed myself to be sucked into this, but ...
Those that are looking for GSIUR 1998, it can be found here: Safety in the installation and use of gas systems and appliances - L56
I would suggest pages 25 & 26, paying CLOSE attention to guidance points 45 & 47.
not all competent people are registered
And not all registered people are competent, from what I read ...
You mean these? Which seem to support what I have been saying, however RoryD quoted something else, could RoryD tell us were this quote came from please
Right can't resist this!!
no person can work on Gas unless competent to do so [ Rule 3 (1)]
A competent person is someone who is a member of a recommended body by the H.S.E. [rule 3. (3)] namely Gas Safe
thanks mateYes, fuzzy, that's exactly what I was referring to.
Rory quotes:
These come from page 25. What Rory is missing from his quote on 3.3 are the words employer, employees, and self-employed. These are the people that, when doing work for hire, are required to be of a class of persons approved by the HSE.
