New Gas Safe Regulations 2012
From the 1st April 2012, all heating engineers fitting gas boilers and water heaters must be qualified in the use of a flue gas analyser. The qualification required is called CPA1 (Combustion Performance Analysis 1), which means that the gas engineer has successfully undertaken training and assessment.
If a heating engineer does not have this CPA1 qualification they will not legally be able to work on central heating boilers or space heaters until they have.
Remember that if your heating engineer does not have the CPA1 qualification, from the 1st April 2012, they can't fit gas boilers or water heaters in the UK.
