Yes that is right.
Mr TP is home and he can't believe such heated debate among all you Gas Qualified engineers!
There is nothing wrong with doing TT before any work, I said I think it might be a good idea and I asked whether you had found this useful.
According to the Rules, however, eg: on GSR technical guidence website, it is NOT compulsory to do a TT before any gas work.
Kirkgas, what you are saying makes sense but the question is about what what are the rules.
MR TP tells me you should do a TT before anything else IF the customer smells gas.
Like Kirk gas he would do a TT before any alteration of the gas carcus eg installation of new appliance, because AFTER any alteration to the gas Carcus NO DROP is permissible.
Kirkgas this is what you said and you are right.
There is no permissible drop after installation of boilers or other pipework alterations.
As for after servicing no TT OK.
Anything else:
The Gas Safety (Installation and Use) Regulations 1998
6 (6) Where a person carries out any work in relation to a gas fitting which might affect the gas tightness of the gas installation he shall immediately thereafter test the installation for gas tightness at least as far as the nearest valves upstream and downstream in the installation.
There i s more explanation of this at GSR website, when you login as installer.
the point i have highlighted and underlined isnt correct, see if you can check on GSR and see where you have went wrong
