Course Overview

This course tests gas safety competencies of an engineer in pneumatic strength testing, tightness testing and direct purging on gas installations exceeding 1m3. Covers any section of pipework, including appliance/plant pipework for natural gas, from the outlet of the ECV, LPG, from the outlet of the bulk storage vessel or cylinder valve as appropriate, other gases on consumers’ premises, from outlet of the isolation point from distribution system Note: Engineers who hold TPCP1 are also deemed to hold TPCP1A

  • Develop the practical skills needed to carry out direct purging of larger volume installation pipework
  • Build competence in testing and purging pipework up to 16 bar meter operating pressure for natural gas and LPG
  • Ensure learners understand relevant normative documents, including HSL56, IGE/UP/1, IGEM/UP/2, UKLPG COP 22, and GIUSP
  • Reinforce safe working practices to prevent leaks, explosion, or fire during testing and purging
  • Prepare learners for formal ACS assessment and certification
  • Support experienced operatives in extending their scope of competence within commercial gas work

  • Introduction to tightness testing and direct purging of larger volume pipework
  • Relevant legislation and normative documents: HSL56, IGE/UP/1, IGEM/UP/2, UKLPG COP 22, GIUSP
  • Tightness testing procedures for pipework exceeding 1m³ in volume
  • Direct purging procedures for pipework up to 16 bar MOP
  • Testing and purging requirements for natural gas and LPG systems
  • Safe working practices to prevent leaks, explosion, or fire

A current or changeover LPG certificate is also required if learners intend to work on LPG systems. Pre-course reading is strongly recommended before attending.

Experienced engineer who wishes to undertake tightness testing and purging of pipework exceeding 1m3 in volume, up to 16bar operating pressure for natural gas and 1bar for LPG. Those who hold a valid COCN1/CCCN1/COCNPI1LS/CCLNG1/CCN1/CESP1/CCLP1/CMA1. If TPCP required for LPG, a valid CONGLP or equivalent qualification is required.
