Gas Safe Register & Corgi Registered Plumbers
Gas Safe Register is the official list of gas safe engineers who are qualified to work safely and legally on gas appliances.
CORGI vs. Gas Safe Register: What You Need to Know
If you’re seeing references to CORGI and Gas Safe Register, don’t worry—it’s the same official authority, just under a new name.
- CORGI (Council for Registered Gas Installers) was the official regulatory body for gas engineers from 1991 until April 2009. This register ensured that engineers were qualified and followed safety standards.
- On 1 April 2009, the UK Health & Safety Executive replaced CORGI with the Gas Safe Register, now managed by Capita. Since then, Gas Safe is the only legally recognised register for gas engineers.
Gas Safe Registered or CORGI Are They the Same
- They are the same, but under different names.
- If your paperwork or old certificates indicate CORGI, they were valid at the time; however, today, only Gas Safe registration is accepted.
- If an engineer still mentions “CORGI registered,” ask to see their current Gas Safe ID card to ensure they’re legally qualified to work on gas appliances.
Why This Matters
- Only Gas Safe-registered engineers are legally permitted to install, repair, or service gas boilers, central heating systems, and related appliances.
- Landlords, homeowners, and tenants should always ask to see a Gas Safe plate or ID card before allowing any work to proceed.
