It is an offence to supply or hire out a used gas-cooking appliance unless it complies with certain safety requirements - for example, the gas carrying component must prevent leaks of gas, the gas shut off devices must work properly and safely and surface temperatures must not be too high. Only someone who is competent under the terms of the Regulations can install a gas appliance.
