Fitting secondhand boiler

[Ray Stafford]

Isn't gas regs just a statutory instrument - secondary legislation / reg. think they all fall under the Building act 1984? That's what you go to prison for?

Not my area of expertise, but I thought that all the statutory instruments merely amended or interpreted the core gas acts - 1986, 1995 etc.

Yes believe so but gas regs was brought in to satisfy building act requirements ?

You could be right Guy.

But its actually a criminal offence to do gas work without the relevant approval. Thats a very different thing to not burying a water main deep enough, or failing to upgrade to part L spec.

 

[Reg Man]

Breach of gas regs (Stautory Instrument) could lead to a criminal offence. So? second hand boiler? Manufacturer instructions available? but may be not compliant with building regs also a criminal offence.

 

[Ermintrude]

But building regs (building act 1984) is above gas regs . That's why gas safe can't chase a non registered muppet but labc can.

 

[Reg Man]

Gas regs are above building regs in the legal world.

Ay? A statutory instrument is a lesser bit of statute compared to an act? Buildings act is where it all comes from??

[Reg Man]

A matter of interpretation. The act goes into finer details to support the breach of the statutory instrument, therefore prosecution cases use the act to support contraventions of the statute.

yes gas regs override building regs they dont however overide MI,S

 

[Ermintrude]

I was referring to the buildings act - which is where all the regs are derived from / for? Gas regs, building regs, water regs..... Yeh see that gas is over building and so on.

 

[Reg Man]

Mi's are the same level as building regulations, they give the detail to support breach of Gas safety regulations.

 

[Reg Man]

To summarise, Statutory instruments rule above all.

Breach of gas act can be criminal.

Failure to meet building regs is civil.
