General extent of permitted appliance work
Gasfitters should only do work for which they are competent. Some types of appliances require specialist knowledge. Gasfitters should never work on an appliance that they do not understand. Contact the manufacturer, component supplier, or ESV, if you are in any doubt about the operation and safety performance of any appliance or component.
Licence endorsement for conversion (a special class of plumbing work) permits the gasfitter to do appliance conversion work.
Only persons with Type B gasfitting endorsement are allowed to work on Type B appliances.
