The law say you must be competent, not certified.
The law say you must be competent. Being competent would mean you would have done that.
Yep.

Just when we though he couldn't get worse. The wanker starts to write in verse. I thought it was the final straw, When he cut his pipe with a blunt hacksaw.

They didn't mention Part P in the kitchen when the 'repairer' gave himself an electrical shock.
Are all Corgi registered technicians allowed to turn off the mains supply to the boiler and work on any electrical items if they are not part P approved, especially if the boiler is in a kitchen?

Would be interesting if he had killed himself, or even just been seriously injured, when that happened (e.g. fell off the worktop onto his skull). Two people (at least) were at work in the house, saw him do something they knew to be dangerous, and did not intervene.

Just watched it, the number was 154852, quoted by the bloke with the caribbean accent who had nicked the id from the genuine corgi registered bloke.
Keyed it in and got the following.
"CORGI can confirm the following details....."
Looks ok to me.
Maybe you typed in 123456 that appeared on all the mocked up corgi id cards?

Sorry I meant to say: ...any work on a gas appliance requires competance and in the case of ...
I guess the crunch comes when the line into "gas work" has been crossed and there is no way that the guy can claim he was only having a "closer look".
As far as the law is concerned if you "Work" on a "Gas Appliance" for "Reward" you must be a member of that class of persons... (i.e. registered).
If of course you do work on an appliance, get paid for it, and all is well then there is not likely to be any consequences.
Signing off non members work is seriously frowned upon by the "establishment".

CORGIs are no different from anyone else in that respect: to do notifiable electrical work we either need to go via BCO or have the appropriate qualifications and be part of a competent persons scheme.
As it happens CORGI also run such a scheme, but apart from being run by the same people that (currently) run the gas register it's just another electrical scheme like NICEIC, NAPIT etc[1].
CORGI also run competent persons schemes for plumbing and ventilation. (They all cost a fortune to join!)
[1] actually the CORGI scheme is "defined scope" whereas NICEIC and NAPIT do full domestic installer schemes.- Vote on answer

A bit like the Portable Appliance Testing (PAT) training, which allows anyone who gains qualification to come in and test plugged in electrical things in your commercial premises. And you'll never guess who used to test in our offices and workshops. OK. You're all correct. It was a CORGI registered gas fitter, who was retired due to ill health. He went for training, passed, and begun a new life.
Small world, innit. :-)
