You the Gas Installer

"Do it yourself" installation is not encouraged. The installation of a gas system on the private vessel is not covered by the Gas Safety (Installations and Use) Regulations 1998. However, you have to take "responsible care for the health and safety of yourself and other persons who may be affected by your acts or omissions at work" under the Heath and Safety at Work Act 1974.

If you require professional training for LPG marine installations contact Evesham College or your local Technical College for details.

This means that you do not have to have the professional qualifications of a C.O.R.G.I. engineer, but you do need to do the job in a "workman like manner", so you will need to have read a copy of EN ISO 10239 and BS5482 pt3 as well as the references listed within. If you wish to do the installation yourself, then get it checked by a CORGI. registered and "Competent" engineer who can issue a gas safety certificate. Your insurance company may insist upon it . Check our list of suitable marine installers.

If your vessel is:

1. "hired out in the course of a business"
2. "made available to members of the public in the course of a business carried out from that vessel" OR
3. "used primarily for domestic or residential purposes"
then you have a legal requirement under the Gas Safety (Installations and Use) Regulations 1998 to use a C.O.R.G.I. engineer.

Check our list of CORGI Marine Gas Installers for the nearest one to your marina.
