Gas Inspection Visit

[rob jefkins]

Got my first gas inspection visit in a few weeks time which I'm not worried about as I know I work safely with gas.
However my gas merchant says that he will pull me up on not having a gas analyser. I have only been going a few months and do have CPA1 to my name. Does anyone know if this will come up???
At the moment I use a visual inspection of the flame as well as burner pressures and gas rates.
cheers

dont worry rob, they are not all bad,most inspectors are helpful and are not there to grill you,just revise your stuff,they will be looking for tightness testing , burner pressures ,biggy is gas rates and things like spillage and flue flow checks if applicable,also gas regs but they will help and give you guidance

Do gas safe contact you to arrange a visit or is it down to the engineer to sort nearer the time?

ive got mine next week, im very nervous. i have been working for a company for a while nw, just applying for my own gas safe. i mainly do servicing and breakdowns i havent installed many full heating systems so i am nt as confident on say pipe sizing and things like that. everything else i feel confident on, any pointers from ne1 would be appreciated

If you have CPA1 and take him to a job where the MI,s ask you to use a FGA you are gonna have some awkward questions to answer.

went smooth, he has took me off my probation period, he was impressed with me from the start, asked a few questions abt gas rates, n gas regs bt nuthing that was very hard. buzzing
