Gas Fitters License

Is your Gas Fitter Licensed?

Gasfitting work is defined in the Home Building Act 1989 as having the same meaning as in the Gas Supply Act 1996 and includes work on a gas installation (other than an autogas installation) connected or intended to be connected to a compressed natural gas container.
Gasfitting work means any work involved in:

  • the installation, alteration, extension or repair of a gas installation, or
  • the installation, alteration, extension, removal or repair of any flue, or
  • the connection of a gas installation to, or the disconnection of a gas installation from, a gas supply point, or
  • the connection of a gas appliance to, or the disconnection of a gas appliance from, a gas installation (otherwise than where the point of connection is a gas outlet socket), or
  • the connection of a gas container, gas regulator or gas appliance to, or the disconnection of a gas container, gas regulator or gas appliance from, a gas installation (otherwise than where it is readily designed to be detachable from the installation, either with the use of a tool, mechanical force, or otherwise).

Gas installation means a system of pipes and associated fittings that is designed to convey gas from the control valve or other connection point of a gas container to the control valve or other connection point of a gas appliance or of another gas container, and includes any flue associated with the installation, but does not include a gas container.
Gas appliance means any gas burning or gas using appliance that is manufactured, adapted or designed for connection to a gas installation, whether by means of a gas outlet socket or otherwise, and includes any liquefied petroleum gas dispenser, catalytic burner or vaporiser, but does not include an internal combustion engine that is installed in, or forms part of, a vehicle, vessel or machine.
