LPG Supplier Registration

Recommendation

A new scheme should be introduced requiring all LPG suppliers to be registered and accredited.

In brief (written by this site)

The Inquiry recommended that all liquefied petroleum gas suppliers be registered and accredited. HM Government (Department for Work and Pensions) stated in March 2010 that it accepted the recommendation in principle and had asked the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) to consult stakeholders on implementation options, ranging from a formal third-party accreditation scheme to a supplier charter of standards (Department for Work and Pensions response, Mar 2010).

Words of: HM Government (Department for Work and Pensions), The Government response to the ICL Inquiry Report (Cm 7849), March 2010
The proposal for an accredited registration scheme was supported by 70% of stakeholders responding to this aspect of the consultation. The Government accepts this recommendation in principal and has asked HSE to consult further with stakeholders on how such a scheme could be implemented, looking at various options from, for example, a formal accreditation scheme operated by a third party, through to a charter of standards to which suppliers would sign up to demonstrate their commitment to the safe operation of small bulk LPG installations and to helping their users meet their obligations.
