Regulatory Framework

The CER set out its approach to the regulation of natural gas undertakings and natural gas installers in the decision papers,

A Natural Gas Safety Regulatory Framework for Ireland (ref. CER/07/172), and

Vision for the Regulation of Gas Installers with Respect to Safety (ref. CER/07/225)

Section 13 of the 2006 Act gave the Commission the authority to appoint a Supervisory Body with responsibility for the day-to-day activities of registration, audit and regulation of natural gas installers on its behalf. On 6th November 2008, the CER appointed the Register of Gas Installers of Ireland (RGII) as the Gas Safety Supervisory Body (GSSB).
