From CORGI to GSR

Many tenants will be aware that landlords are required to undertake gas safety checks including, flues, appliances and fittings annually. From the 1st April 2009 the old Corgi gas registration scheme has been replaced by the ‘GAS SAFE REGISTER’. The GSR is now the only authorized body recognized by government to undertake gas service checks.

From the 1st April only GSR registered engineers will be able to fulfill the statutory gas safety responsibilities as outlined by government. Gas appliances that have been tested prior to 1st April will still be valid until they expire. If you are not sure whether your gas engineer is properly registered with GSR this can be checked by visiting http://www.gassaferegister.co.uk If you require further information contact kerry@welshtenantsfed.org.uk
