Goodbye Corgi - Hello Gas Safe Register


On 1 April 2009, the new Gas Safe Register replaces the CORGI gas registration scheme as Great Britain’s gas safety authority.


By law, from 1 April, only Gas Safe registered engineers should be employed to carry out work on gas installations or appliances – CORGI gas registration will not be valid.   All contractors who work for GGH who previously were register under the CORGI scheme are now registered with Gas Safe Register so they can continue to work legally from April 09.


All engineers will be provided with the new yellow Gas Safe Register logo, and every engineer will carry a Gas Safe Register ID card with their own unique licence number. 


Before you have any gas work done in your home, make sure you check the card.


If someone other than a Gas Safe registered engineer carries out gas work at your home, you could be risking the safety of your family and your property.
