I get that. And I know what you are saying. But it doesn’t say cap off.thing is the appliance in question is the gas meter so your turning off the gas meter ?

Yes. But one is capped (ID) or isolated (AR)the effect is the same tho a customer with no gas
The point about the meter box is the point I was making and the reason I was asking which gas pipe. But thanks for the support.The main point here is the fact of the location, because it's in meter box there is unregulated gas pressure (up to 75mb) which could potentially have a much higher leakage rate. Also no dilution with air will take place in a meter box. The key point is that prevention should be in place to stop that entering the building in the result of a leak. Ie the sealing in this instance is more important than the sleeve providing no deteriation of pipework.
As it stands its AR and turn off. Sealing it would lead it to be non compliant and advise customer regarding sleeve.
If it wasn't in a meter box it would just be non compliant regardless of sleeve or seal.
Hope this helps!
If owner disagrees with AR turning off, do I need to fill out a form and attach a label and what should I do then if they don’t let me turning the appliance off when having AR ?Nah, ID capped , AR turned off , with the owners permission of course .
