Mend Gas Boiler Safety

earthing gas meters?

In a new gas installation, who is responsible for earthing the meter/gas pipe?
a)The installer transco who may lead the supply to the house but do no more.
b) The gas / corgi engineer who instals the system the boiler, pipework, whoever connects the boiler electrically.
c) the householder who is responsible for electrical safety
d) any electrician who subsequently works on the system.

The House owner is ultimately responsible,but,especially in a new build,it would in my opinion be the electricians responsibility.Most RGI`s don`t run earth cable,but should/would inform the householder of what was reqyuired.

i would say (B) or (C) i live in Scotland and when the gas company came a few years back for theyre annual check on my boiler and pipes,they told me as its been installed a few years i must get the boiler to meter earthed myself.
On a new gas installation you would think the corgi registered gas fitter woudnt be able to sign of the job as complete without getting the earthing done.

your question should be asked to the local building inspector.

differing areas will have different answers
