Gas Safety
It is the law (UK)
that the installation and servicing of gas appliances and their associated
pipe work must only be undertaken by CORGI Registered Installers.
- A. McRoberts
is a CORGI Registered
Installer, (No 5175) and is therefore fully qualified to undertake
this work.
- Identification.
All CORGI fitters must carry a CORGI identification card, which includes
their photograph. Please ask to see this identification card to put
your mind at ease.
- CE Mark.
Since December 1997, all appliances sold in the UK must display the
CE approval mark. To obtain this mark the appliances must undergo rigorous,
independent, safety testing. This legislation required manufacturers
to introduce technical innovations in the design of their products to
improve gas safety.
- ODS (Oxygen
Depletion System). This device is very sensitive to the oxygen content
in the air passing over it. When oxygen levels start to fall this device
makes the pilot flame unstable which then causes the Flame Supervision
Device to shut off the gas to the appliance long before the situation
could become dangerous. Oxygen levels will fall if there is an increase
in the levels of Carbon Monoxide CO² or Carbon Dioxide CO in the
atmosphere of the room or if there is insufficient ventilation. This
device is a valuable safety measure, which was not fitted to many appliances
prior to December 1997. Please view our extensive range of GAS
FIRES which all have such systems incorporated.
- FSD (Flame
Supervision Device) A pilot flame heats the tip of a thermocouple, which
generates a minute current to hold open a small electromagnet, allowing
the gas valve to remain open. This is often built into the back of the
appliance main control valve and is usually operated when the control
knob is pushed in to establish the pilot. If the pilot then goes out
for any reason, the appliance is made safe by shutting off its gas supply.
Please view our extensive range of GAS FIRES
which all have such systems incorporated.
- Landlords Gas
Safety Record. Regulation 35 (Maintenance), of the Gas Safety (Installation
and Use) Regulations 1994, placed duties on landlords, which required
them to maintain gas pipe work and appliances in a safe condition and
to have all gas appliances in rented properties, checked for safety
on an annual basis. A record of these checks must be kept and be made
available to tenants. Only CORGI Registered persons can carry
out these checks and issue the required documentation. Please view our
Landlords Services section for full details.
- Servicing.
All gas appliances should, preferably, be serviced annually. Gas fires
can cause soot deposits to build up in the chimney, which will need
to be swept periodically. Such soot deposits will affect the efficiency
of the fire and if left unswept may also cause spillage of fumes into
the room. Please see below for more
details.
