Gas meter display blank

[ShaunCorbs]

Jeez, Shaun,which is what I said in my first post.

But that is not what you were saying.

so on this occasion inlet pressure would be acceptable as this would prove with the fga results safe operation

Sometimes you just have to make a call on things utilising your knowledge & past experience.

If you are really worried then once the meter &/or battery was replaced by gas provider you called out you could go back to confirm gas rate with the FGA & pressure as mentioned above & annotate the CP12.

If I cannot do a GR or BP then AR for me.

Nonsense, if everything else is okay. Have you actually considered what you are doing? WTF are you making up your own rules? The regs aactually allow for not being able to. Why are folk so keen to turn everything off. There is a danger of over estimating nes importance, IMO.

Because I am the one signing the ticket and for the sake of 4 hours. I can go do another job or 3 and then go back and finish the cert.

But you said you would A. Which is overstepping your remit and powers.

Fair enough, abort the job and return if you wish, but it is totally wrong to stick DO NOT USE labels everywhere unless they are justified.

If I was a LL and you pulled that stunt and had tenants hassling me, you would be answering questions.

I passed everything and recorded the fact that I could not GR due to faulty display on meter and left the CP12. So I did not AR and left everything as it was.
It was niggling at me all last night, so I phoned Gas Safe technical for guidance this morning. The chap says as long as inlet is within 1mbar from the meter reading proving correct pipe sizing so it is not under gassed and FGA readings are good then pass it and record on cert that you could not GR and the reason why. And report it to the gas supplier. So I am happy I made the right decision in the end. Thanks to all for your opinions in this matter. You never stop learning in this game.

We Will agree to disagree mate. You do what you need to and so will I.

Fair enough. You carry on taking liberties, and I will carry on doing it properly.

Which is exactly what I said. But nobody knows everything, and it is right to take steps to be certain that you are acting properly. At least you don't have to go back 🙂
