Provisions the documents cite: reg 3 (competence and registration)
What it requires
Work on a gas fitting or gas storage vessel only by a person who is competent and, where the work is in the course of business, registered with an approved body (Gas Safe). This is the statutory competence the mechanical RAMS refers to on the page-one competence note.
