It has taken 20 years for CORGI to reach the stage when 50% of households would agree " they have heard of CORGI but dont really know what it does apart from something to do with gas".
In that case having registration fees £2 p.a. below CORGI will not get many people to change.
There is actually a common sense solution, a non-profit single gas safety organisation called CORGI with the actual registration process from two sub contractors, NAPIT and CORGI SERVICES ( appropriately renamed ).
Having two organisations sharing policing of safety is bound to failure. Suppose a CORGI Inspector goes to a NAPIT member's installation and finds the condensate pipe 2 mm short then he is bound to be stricter than a NAPIT inspector would have been.
Its unworkable! Unless the inspection is by a new department of the HSE !
