I think you'll find that article refers to England and Wales.


Your link was non-domestci.

True. Here's the right link (for Scotland).

Says the same thing though so it would seem that DIY is theoretically
possible.


Another document clearly states DIY is out.


Where?

You've said it's possible with BCO checking in another post. You seem a
bit confused.


That is not DIY as such. You pay for the BCO, which is not cheap. Many
BCO's do not do it and farm it out to an approved man, as they do with Part
P in electric. You may as well pipe up the cylinder, and remove it. Then
get an approved man to connect, fill and test. I see no reason why a DIYer
can't do the lot as long as it is not filled up with water, then get an
approved man to fill and test and sign off.
