Are medium pressure the upso/opso type? Note it down as per others. Technical bulletin 004 gives examples, and also mentions considerations, one being an electrician may take an inappropriate route. It doesn’t give guidance on what to classify it as though.

Med pressure is ID
Low my thinking is it was AR

So going to note it down as AR
I would AR as well mate but not if it is sealed with something appropriate. Silicone is not appropriate though. Looking at the pic again it looks like they have used clear silicone.
 
Have I got this wrong then? Couldn’t see any ID mentioned, only AR, which mentions medium pressure fed and low pressure to house. Got me all confused now 😩

Sure it comes under Section 2.8 mate. Damage to meter box where gas can escape in to the cavity. That’s why I said note on cert if it is sealed correctly.
 
Wouldn't class it as AR if it's sealed.

Actually had this on one of our Gas Safe Inspections and he never mentioned it being AR and we discussed it. Usual thing sparky had been afterwards.
