Engineers who are required to carry out work on gas meters. Those who hold valid CCN1/CESP1/CMA1 or equivalent. Must have held their gas qualification for a minimum of 1 year before extending appliance range

This course is aimed at gas engineers who need to install, exchange, remove, and commission non-domestic diaphragm gas meters up to 40 cubic metres per hour capacity. Learners must hold one of the following core qualifications: CMA1, CESP1, CCN1, COCN1, or CCCN1. Where meters exceed 16 cubic metres per hour, or installations fall outside the scope of UP/1B, TPCP1 or TPCP1A is also required, and work on meters with a medium pressure supply requires REGT1 or REGT2 depending on capacity. First fix of commercial pipework (ICPN1) may also be needed where alterations to the outlet supply are necessary to facilitate the meter installation.
