Combi Problem

Does this topic never get exhausted there must be a hundred pages on it on this site , people read the line in the book and make there own mind up.

NO. All you have to do is read my post on it, on this thread it covers it in a few lines.

The key word is competence. Many think that means having a piece of paper. WRONG!!!!!
If having a piece of paper makes you competent, the.....if a Corgi man screws up your boiler, then it is OK as he had a piece of paper which exonerates him from any legal come-back to put it right. So he will have a screwed up boiler and no come-back as he was competent because he had a piece of paper. Yerrrrrrrrrrrr of course he is.

Competence is your actions, NOT a piece of paper. It is amazing how many cannot understand something so simple.

What another load of codswallop.

Competence is certainly not giving advice to posters just from what you have googled on the internet :rolleyes:

You pretend that you're the only person to interpret the law correctly, but you made the very same claim when you posted your first interpretation of the GSIUR under the member name of "Water Systems". That interpretation was incorrect, despite it being predated by numerous topics on the matter.

Competence is your actions, NOT a piece of paper.
Except when the piece of paper shows that your competence has been assessed and has met the criteria that are accepted by the HSE as proof of competence.

Let's not forget that the HSE is the authority on the matter, not BigWaterSystemDrivelBurner.

I don't pretend. It is clear I am the only one.
You got it wrong long after many people on the site got it right.

If you say so, oh uneducated one.

It's old news, and you, Water Systems / Dr Drivel, are a charlatan.

Any advances on that?

It explains what value a piece of paper has - give the straw man a diploma and all of a sudden he is clever.

Just like a Corgi certificate - it does not necessarily indicate competence which is demanded by the law. Otherwise it would be impossible to prosecute a Corgi registered installer for incompetence because by definition by being Corgi registered he could not be incompetent.

The corgi registration indicates that he SHOULD be competent - NO MORE.

In short he should do the job right 100% of the time, all the time - competence is his actions in doing the job. It is all quite simple.

Wrong.

I don't know why you and BigDrivel consider it necessary to enter into some off-the-wall philosophical debate about the meaning of a bit of paper, but being an RGI does count for something, since you can't register without evidence of attaining some degree of competence.

If you think the registration criteria are insufficient, then just say so, but arguing that a CORGi certificate means nothing is like arguing that an MOT certificate means nothing.

Right!

A MOT means the car is roadworthy. It is proof of a physical inspection. A man turning up at your door with badge with COrgi on it does not mean the gas work will be quality. Only his competence proves that - the results of his work. It is easy to understand . If you can't see it just read my posts and take it as gospel - just accept it. It is easier that way for you.
