so you're a CORGI reg. engineer who approves of DIYers working on gas pipes and appliances? The law is the law. What we think is irrelevant. You only need to be Corgi registered if making money. A competent non-Corgi person can fit gas anywhere as long as they are not being paid. They should have done the same with electricity instead of Part P.
can anyone help with this (please dont start the corgi debate again) ravenheat csi primary, have pilot ignition but lockout on main flame, i.e main flame fails to ignite. condensate trap empty. any ideas? thanks.
Is it not the definition of competent we need here. As I understand it you can only be competent if you hold a valid ACS qualification for the appliance you are working on. How else can you be deemed officially competent?? ACS is the competent persons scheme so once complete and you want to gain financially you must be registered with CORGI. So working in your own home you need ACS right but not necessarily CORGI registration.
have this sorted now, for reff it was a faulty condensate trap sensor, trap was empty and clear but is a know fault on this boiler, have bypassed it for now awaiting new part, thanks.

How else can you be deemed officially competent? This has been discussed endlessly before on this forum & what you understand is irrelevant. You don't have to be deemed officially competent as a DIY'er, you just have to complete the job sucessfully & not cause any problems. It's no good going on about this being unsatisfactory, that's the way it is & we have to live with it until the relevant authorities decide to change the rulas.
