It doesn't say you need to be on the gas safe register. Or can you point
to a bit which does?

Of course it does say that, how could it the gas safe registare didn;t exist until about 2006.

Because the wording says:

"unless the employer or self-employed person, as the case may be, is a
member of a class of persons approved for the time being by the Health
and Safety Executive for the purposes of this paragraph. "

That was written for CORGI. When GasSafe replaced CORGI for this
function, the HSE would have made the approval.

FFS Dave, just go and read the sodding link I gave you and let's discuss
it on the basis of the Act and not some spurious opinions from a trade body.

Well I've sent an email to them asking to clarify, we'll see what happens.
