Gas Safe Register

Back to Accreditations 

GAS SAFE REGISTER is the official gas registration body for Great Britain (GB) and Isle of Man, appointed by the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) for Great Britain and HSWI for Isle of Man.

Gas Safe Register replaced CORGI as the gas registration body in GB on 1 April 2009.

The HSE carried out a review of gas safety in 2006 which, after consultation with the gas industry, engineers and the public, led to the decision to change to a new gas registration scheme. The contract to run the new scheme was awarded to Capita and the Gas Safe Register was launched. The sole focus of the register is on improving gas safety.

The CORGI gas registration scheme in Great Britain and the Isle of Man ended on 31 March 2009. It is no longer recognised by law as the gas safety register.

GAS SAFE REGISTER maintains a computerised database listing all Registered Gas Installers on mainland Britain. All Gas Installers must successfully pass an assessment of competence by a Gas Safe Register Inspector before an application is approved. Once registered, an Installer is required to undergo regular inspections. Gas Safe Register is the National Watchdog for Gas Safety in the United Kingdom. Their mission is to promote and enhance gas safety, standards and quality in a professional and ethical manner.

By enrolling on the Gas Safe Register Wilcock Consultants became a member of the Class of Persons approved by the Health and Safety in accordance with the Gas Safety (Installation and Use) Regulations and/or the Gas Safety (Installation and Use) Regulations (Northern Ireland) and/or Gas Safety (Installation and Use) Regulation as amended and applied by the Gas Safety Order of the Isle of Man.

This means that the Gas Safe Register accepts that Wilcock Consultants is competent to carry out gas work as we have valid certificates of competence covering the areas of gas work we undertake.
