CORGI Or Gas Safe?
CORGI was no longer the official gas engineer registry of the government as of 2009. However, a lot of people still call themselves "CORGI-registered". This could be risky for consumers.

To become a Gas Safe Engineer, an engineer must pass an array of tests and a practical training course. Before they are deemed Gas Safe, they must also provide proof of relevant prior experience and pass an identity check.
Once qualified an engineer will be issued a Gas Safe registration card. The card will include an image of the engineer, along with their Gas Safe number, as well as an expiry date. The reverse side of the card will show the various types of work the engineer is qualified to do. This includes work on gas appliances such as boilers, cookers and other appliances. The engineer can only do the work that is shown on their certificate.

If an engineer doesn't appear on the Gas Safe Register, they are operating illegally and putting you in danger of carbon monoxide, or other gas-related incidents.
If an engineer claims to be CORGI registered, it is best to verify this with the Gas Safe Register website or contact the appropriate Health and Safety Authority to confirm that they are. The...
