How's the homeowner supposed to do these checks when they replace a diverter valve on a 105
Come on, Shaun, stop digging holes. A homeowner is not subject to 26.9, but, as a RGI, presumably, you are.

Why not same situation also you haven't addressed anything in regards to bg
Also sparkys wiring boiler same checks must be applied then as theve disturbed the seal
Homeowners are not trained as RGI's therefore not subject to the same rules,or have the same responsibilities. In the same way that a removal man can disconnect a plug in cooker without being subject to the regs, whereas we would be.
What about BG? Their RGI's are subject to 26.9. Whether an individual complies is another thing - you clearly do not. I did a short stint as a BG contractor, and their "service", includes all of 26.9.
Re electricians. They should not be removing the case and breaking the seal, unless a RGI is also in attendance to reinstate the appliance. Apart from electricians who also hold gas certs.
Can you not see that the regs insist that you do 26.9. I am a little confused that you are arguing on this. I suspect that any GS inspector reading this would be interested in your ID.
Fair enough we can agree to do that. But your inspector is wrong, or you misunderstood him. Get him to put it in writing. As I posted earlier, this is a direct lift from the regs:
(9) Where a person performs work on a gas appliance he shall immediately thereafter examine—
(a)
the effectiveness of any flue;
(b)
the supply of combustion air;
(c)
its operating pressure or heat input or, where necessary, both;
(d)
its operation so as to ensure its safe functioning,
I do not see any bit saying this only applies when fitting parts. Are you sure he was not referring tp the need or otherwise of conducting a FGA?
EDIT: For some reason, copying this is affecting the text set up.
Only says examine which could mean visual
You can VISUALLY examine gas pressure and/or the gas rate?
Hi there guys i know this might sound like a silly question. I am a new learner (not qualified yet) and i just want to know the correct procedures on what you should do in an event of a boiler breakdown. For example lets say if the boiler is leaking... Do you Isolate water and gas to the boiler first? or do you have to do the usual let by and tightness test and then the other stuff?
Gas rate you can as it says or only need one
