Legislation related to Plumbing, Drainlaying and Gas fitting

Changes and amendments to legislation

It is the practitioner’s responsibility to keep informed of changes to legislation governing the trade, so a practitioner should regularly check for amendments, updates and replacements of applicable:

• Standards
• Acts
• Regulations
• Gazette notices.

Check the PGD Board’s web site for notifications.

By not complying with the requirements of the Act and Regulations, any work carried out as outlined in the Act or Regulations would be seen as illegal and could lead to prosecution or infringement notices (fines) being imposed. Insurance companies could also decline a claim either by the home owner or by you as a result of illegal work.
