Gas Safety (Installation and Use) Regulations (Northern Ireland) 1997
These Regulations revoke and remake with amendments the Gas Safety (Installation and Use) Regulations (Northern Ireland) 1995 (S.R. 1995 No. 3). The Regulations impose requirements as to the installation and use of gas fittings for the purpose of protecting the public from risks arising from the transmission, distribution, supply or use of gas conveyed from pipes or from a gas storage vessel. Gas fittings are gas pipework, valves, regulators and meters, and fittings, apparatus and appliances designed for use by consumers for heating, lighting, cooking or other purposes but not a service pipe or any part of a distribution main or other pipe upstream of a service pipe. A gas storage vessel is a storage container designed to be filled or refilled with gas at the place where it is connected for use or a refillable cylinder designed to store gas but not a cylinder or cartridge designed to be disposed of when empty.
