| Under the Gas Safety (Registration of Gas Installers and Gas Contractors) Regulations, only registered gas installers (registered to the appropriate class) employed by registered gas contractors can personally carry out gas installation work. "Gas Installation Work" includes the fabrication, connection, disconnection, testing, commissioning, decommissioning, maintenance, repair, or replacement of gas pipework, appliances and fitting. For example : |
| - installation of gas appliances (e.g. hotplates and water heaters); |
 |
| - replacement of flexible gas tubing; | |
| - repair of gas appliances. | |
| Registered gas contractors will request the customer to sign a work record (job card) as documentary proof of work done. The document includes the details of work carried out, date, time, and the gas installer's name and registration number. The registered gas contractor shall be required to keep these records for inspection by government gas safety inspectors. | |
 |
Registered gas contractors will need to display a certificate and a sign on their premises to let the public know they are registered gas contractors. Their registered gas installers will carry a registration card when performing gas installation work. For your own protection, always ask to see the registration documents of people working for you. |
