Rather than get into a fight over this i will repeat what my corgi inspector said at my last assesment inspection......gas hob, pipe out through the cupboard side and a compression ball valve used to isolate the appliance........householder had boarded up the side (where the compression joints were after i had done the work some months before.....) he said that as it was a compression joint it needed to be accessible (rightly) so the householder fitted a removable panel....job done.... 'nuff said

DIA , Would you consider a key is a tool because you need a key to access a meter box which has compression fittings
But you CAN if it has no openable window but it DOES have an openable door to the outside!

Had this on a job in Bath, the meter was in a box outside, but there was a locked gate, so I ID it
I didn't go back so don't know what happened, I know there was some unhappy faces in the office.

if you can access the joint then cause you can use compression, we dont do though even if it is accessible as if you think about it, eveything is eventually accessible whether you just have to screw a panel off to get to it or rip a whole kithcen out and chop the wall out.
a soldered joint is definately the way forward . . . soldered by a corgi installer . .. . .
Accessible to the human eye, not hidden beneath or behind walls..If there is an unsoldered joint on a gas line, I need to be able to physically see. touch and test it.. What Gas school did you go to....
