This qualification will enable engineers to strength test, tightness test and purge non-domestic gas installations. It is mandatory for engineers to be Gas Safe Registered in this field, which has to be renewed every five years.
The course covers all gas safety requirements and specific technical detail in testing and purging non domestic installations.
Applicants must already hold a core gas qualification in non-domestic or catering – CODNC01, COCN1, CCCN1 or CODC1.
Both theoretical and practical tasks are required although both are open book tasks.
This qualification ensures continuous employment and may expand job opportunities within the gas field.
