RE Corgi going to barbados , It does mate of mine is corgi inspector and they go out there to inspect British Airways holiday accomodation.
And before people say about fees ,this is done through the otherside of corgi that is allowed to make a profit.
Jammy git not long back from 5 days in st lucia and BA sent him business class. Before summerr season starts he will be doing spain ,italy and france its a hard life

corgi was set up to promote gas safety in the uk,it was also set up as a NON PROFIT making org.how the goalposts have moved at rgis expense, not the expense of those who can afford to holiday in barbados.CORGI ONLY SELL TO RGI'S NOT WEALTHY HOLIDAY MAKERS

NUMPTY.Obviously no idea as usual, as i said differnt side so no cost to RGI`s, following the deaths of the family in holiday resort the other year even if corgi made a profit out off our annual fees so what if it saved 1 life. And i would not class people who go to spain, italy etc as rich
namsag read the post,what part of £orgi is open to the general public?
the register?
the overpriced goods from £orgi direct[the bit that makes a profit]
please explain where anyone but rgi's pay in?unless you mean their competent person schemes which are all separate entities.
as for your other remarks i would not mind paying a surcharge for a COUNTRYS own gas fitters to certify THEIR installations are safe when i travel.i do not see too many chavs in barbados or italy,but plenty in spain

Numpty.. who else other than rgi`s pay in . Well there is one name in my comment, BA and every other holiday company that pay corgi a fortune to check that the locals have fitted appliances to uk standards so people don`t die when they are meant to be having a good time/
And i said previously this side of corgi has nothing to do with rgi contributions and makes a healthy profit

So where did i say i supported corgi or what they stand for i merely pointed out that the do work outside of this country to protect citizens of this country from badly trained overseas workers and it COSTS US nothing as members. But if you would rather see kiddies die because you have gripe with corgi that is your choice i am not that petty minded
As RGI's are charged to be kept on the register, CORGI should stay out of paid inspection work, and suggest to BA and the like that they use a normal registered gas installer to carry out inspections in other countries. I am sure there would be several installers who would be interested.
To take the work themselves is an abuse of their position.
France has it's own gas regulations, most are the same, but there are some that are completely diffent to the british ones. An installation that complies with british norms could therefore be illegal here.

So what are those then. give examples
given France's well noted and documented zealot like adhesion to all matters regulatory
the word elderberries springs to mind.

The use of soft solder is only permitted in some instances, most gas work is hard soldered or brazed.
The soundness test has a longer duration and often a higher pressure.
LPG appliances are allowed in basements.
Ventilation requirements are broadly similar in size, but there are some minimum requirements for some appliances than are required in the UK
There is more than one type of natural gas in France - (G20 and G25) depending what part of the country you are in. There are also LPG's and Air/Propane and Air/Butane mixtures.
I am not sure whether a CORGI inspector would be qualified to Inspect installations in another country, unless they were registered there too.
France has it's own regulation compliance inspection organisation - QUALIGAZ.
Without a Qualigaz inspection certificate, the customer is unable to get their gas supply connected or LPG delivered.
