  • Gas Safe Register maintains a  listing of all Registered Gas Installers in the UK.

  • Gas Safe Register's role is to protect the public from unsafe gas installations and to ensure gas work is carried out safely and competently by registered gas installers.

  • 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.

  • A requirement of Gas Safe Register registration is all gas fitting operatives must have been assessed, tested and hold valid NACS certificates (Nationally Accredited Certification Scheme) of competence in all areas of gas work carried out.
  • Certificates are valid for 5 years, after which re-assessment and re-certification is necessary.
