This page is here to assist you in preparing for the inspection and audit by identifying the necessary checks and observations which Safe Energy Ireland are required to complete as the Gas Safety Supervisory Board (GSSB).
In general, the completion of the inspection and audit process with an RGI goes smoothly and Safe Energy Ireland appreciate the ongoing co-operation of the RGI’s in this quality audit scheme.
The Inspection element of the meeting requires the Safe Energy Ireland Inspector to observe the completion of one of two activities completed on a gas consumers premises by the RGI.
These activities can be either of:
- Gas works on a new or upgraded domestic gas installation
- Full Annex E inspection of an existing gas installation.
The Audit element of the meeting requires the Safe Energy Ireland Inspector to visually confirm that the RGI possesses each of the following items on the day of the meeting, these items are required for carrying out gas works safely:
| Equipment | Paperwork |
| U-Gauge / Digital Manometer with Test Tee and Aspirator *Within Calibration Period* | RGI Identification Card |
| Leak Detection Fluid / Digital Test Equipment | Current Edition of IS 813 – Domestic Gas Installations. You can purchase a copy of I.S.813 from the NSAI website here. |
| Flue Gas Analyser | Declaration of Conformance (appropriate for the work undertaken on the day) |
| Smoke Matches | Notification of Hazard/ User Safety Notices |
| Smoke Pellets | CSST Training Certificate (If required) |
| Multimeter | PE Training Certificate (If required) |
| Meter Continuity Leads | Multilayer Pipework Training Certificate (If required) |
| Proof of equipment calibration checked during audit |
The above information is supplied in an effort to assist you in preparing for the inspection meeting and help you avoid recording any non-conformance points on the day.
Due to the current Covid 19 restrictions it is essential that you are prepared to observe the current advice on safe on-site practices and that the customer has agreed in advance to the arrival of two persons onto their premises. The customer should remain in an alternative room whilst the inspection of the work is taking place, and it’s normal to carry out the audit outdoors in these times to minimize the time spent indoors.
Thank you for your co-operation in advance of this Inspection & Audit meeting, and if you have any further questions please contact your nominated inspector, or contact Safe Energy Ireland at info@rgi.ie if you are not sure who your nominated inspector is.
