well it is law for places of work i.e. a factory workshop etc and believe it or not in a residential flat where you have others above or bellow or all around you there must be a resposability that the landlord must make sure all appliances are sound safe and condemned if unsafe. So you can not in anyway tamper or install your own in this environment. ive never seen any documentation ordering you by law when its your own property just screws you insurance up and leaves you with no leg to stand on in court if something was to happen so guess its not the problem of the gas supplier neither if that happened neither manufacturer guess you voided warranty too. CORGI is just a safety net for you not against you its there to protect you so if it did happen you can sue get a new house etc. because its not your fault.

ok people you know there is the diy of the world and there always going to do it but bare in mind if you don't have a corgi certificate of installation you got insurance no you not its void if you diy this but you're gonna do it yourself anyway so here is what to do which is a must stay alive rule. 1 Go out and buy a calibrated gas leak tester 2 go out and buy a gas carbon/monoxide tester calibrated and cert 3 go out and buy atomized gas tester which can detect airborne gas particles. 4 get all your ptfe gas tape make sure its gas ptfe 5 get leak testing paste 6 get the correct fittings for there is one for natural gas and lpg make sure its certified for your condition and environment. Very important as if a NG fitting leaks it tends to shut off because of the drop in back pressure. not to mention depending on environment blow back arrestors are needed. Still wanting or thinking of doing it yourself lol 7 after connecting do all the tests everything. don't risk nothing never say that will do. if the flame burn very irregular be warned something might be wrong. Test IT WITH A CALIBRATED AND CERTIFIED TESTER NOT CHEAP TAT. make sure the mbar pressure of your gas supply is correct and the appliance is to work with that pressure. If its not its transco who need to adjust it as you will be screwed in a world of sht without a paddle if you break the seal and adjust it yourself as that regulator for one don't belong to you and you don't have the right to touch it safety first please. make sure you test the fumes from the flue of the appliance thats where its exhaust is being kicked out sometimes a new cooker can smell like a gas leak but its just the chemicals used on it but test it with a tester to be 100% sure all in all the equipment will cost you 10 times what an engineer will charge you and you still don't get a certificate your insurance company gives you so urm guess what its better to get it done by them. maybe if you do it yourself then get an engineer to check it all over test it etc if you can but either way your risking it. GOOD LUCK Oh I forgot if you have a gas flue for the appliance like boiler etc then you need smoke bombs so you can see if the smoke flows up the flue and out if it comes inside then flue is not working or blocked. some appliances are sealed and do not connect inside air with its exhausts fumes but you need to check see if the fumes are going out as fumes can leak out very important death is imminent if you don't. i value my life so i take no chances.
