Gas Safety and Distribution (when a SMS is not required)
Proposal
To maintain regulations similar to existing Gas Regulations 6 and 7, to apply where a distributor is not required to implement and maintain a SMS.
155. The proposed SMS regulations provide that small scale distributors will not be required to implement and maintain a SMS. To ensure that distribution systems not covered by the SMS requirements are designed, constructed, maintained and operated in a manner that, as far as practicable, achieves continuity of supply, safety and satisfactory operation, it is proposed that regulations of the same nature as existing Gas Regulations 6 and 7 should apply.
156. These regulations will also address documentation of small scale distribution systems and the need for work on such systems to be undertaken by competent persons.
