Ok maybe I'm not looking in the right places but I can't find much info on this subject.
is it compulsory to have a fga?

Do I now need one to correctly complete a landlord safety cert?
 
Funnily enough no, I occasionally flick through my old mans, I have my cpa1.

I feel like a fool now. I'm guessing the answers a simple one.
 
yes the answer is a very simple one, and has 2 letters in it,
again something comes up about LGSC and FGA, who owns the property has nothing to do with the tools you need to work safely, it is all to do with the appliance and what the MI tells you must be done to confirm its safety,
if i went to a property tomorrow i could confirm that the gas hob and the BBU was perfectly safe or not and i dont own a FGA
 
This is an issue that has brought a lot of confusion not helped by all the ads and constant emails offering you deals on an analyser and telling you time is running out. You don't need one unless you are servicing boilers with zpg's (band A's) or the manu specifically asks for one or you are doing some other stuff that may require one.
You just need to know how to interperet the results if you do use one.

:iagree:
 
you need one if your installing, vaillant and baxi certainly require it in their benchmark forms

Only if the manu asks for it. Those particular 2 don't and neither do most.
The benchmark form is a standard form used by all manus. The part about combustion says "if required by the manufacturer". Things may change in the future tho.
