Re: baumatic gas hob

Glad I’m fully qualified and registered then, innit.

But it is still normal for guys not qualified in gas to call/work on dual fuel appliances or appliances with electrical components, work on them, with the full knowledge of Gas Safe knowing that they are not breaking any current regs or rules.

Like I say I can name at least 4 that did it last week.

Can you provide the list or its location, it would be handy to have.

I enquired with Corgi last year about this on behalf of the WTA. The reply I recieved was posted elsewhere, but I’ll re-post it below.

I would be happy to get this updated with Gas Safe if needed, but I am quite happy having my engineers replace electrical components on gas appliances. Reply recieved was as follows:

Thanks for your email.
An ‘electrician’ can repair faults on a gas appliance providing he does not disconnect a gas appliance, break into any gas installation pipework, work on gas bearing parts, connections, valve gaskets or flue joints, etc or do anything that would effect the combustion process.

If he does he is carrying out ‘gas work’ as defined in the Gas Safety (Installation and Use) Regulations, he would need to be CORGI registered.

Any electrical repair carried out on any appliances must not in any way effect the safety of the appliance.
I trust this answers your enquiry
