And the answer was about the legal requirements; the Gas Safety
Regulations (can't be arsed to look up the exact wording) requires
only that
you must be competent to do the work.
If he has to ask about the legal issues, it suggests it's not
something he has done before.

The legislation:

The relevant section:

http://www.legislation.gov.uk/uksi/1...ulation/3/made

Notes:

Where the phrase "class of persons approved for the time being by the
Health and Safety Executive" means GasSafe member.

"Competent" is not defined in the legislation.

Are you reading the same place as me??

PART BGAS FITTINGS – GENERAL PROVISIONS
Qualification and supervision

3. (1) No person shall carry out any work in relation to a gas fitting
or gas storage vessel unless he is competent to do so.


Yes... it uses the word "competent" without defining it elsewhere in the
statute.


Yes - I missed your point!! :-O
