CCP1 - commissioning plant and equipment

[mike_s]

when is this qualification needed? When does commisioning a commercial boiler become classed as commissioning plant and equipment needing this acs qualification?

This week I'm sitting my commercial heating changeover as got a quote for a commercial boiler but it's just an 85kw with no boosters or anything special on the gas side of things.

After some research it seems that this qualification was designed for people who commision only and not install? Meaning I would not need it as I'll have ciga-1. The only info I could find on this was a report from icom in 2007. I have e-mailed energy and utility skills (eu skills) to clear this up, they are very helpful and the people to ask if anyone isn't sure on what they need so they don't work out of scope.

From a quick search on the gsr it shows most commercial firms don't have this and most training places don't offer it so I doubt it's needed. Anyone know more?

I think plant and equiptment is things like gas engines. Gas generators.

With com. It's wet heating. Dry heating. Radiant plaque.

If its not heating then you may need another ticket

BTW. Get up1 and 1a. Very grey area of you don't IMO

I've got up1a and icpn. After some research it seems the plant commissioning cert was designed as more of a limited scope type of qual for people who commission only.

I completed my commercial changeover with ciga, cdga and cort 1. I also have my catering and commercial laundry quals which I've needed on top of my domestic ng and lpg. Happy I have all the tickets I'm likely to need for now and have more commercial gas work coming in
