CORGI is the Council for registered Gas Installers. It is an independent body appointed by the Health and Safety Executive to register gas installer businesses and maintain safety standards throughout the industry.

CORGI maintains a computerised database listing all Registered Gas Installers on mainland Britain and Northern Ireland.

There are approximately 50,000 Installers with a total of over 110,000 operatives registered with CORGI.

All businesses, whether employers or self-employed persons, who undertake any work in relation to a gas fitting or gas storage vessels MUST BY LAW, BE REGISTERED WITH CORGI.

All Gas Installers must successfully pass an assessment of competence by a CORGI Inspector before an application is approved. Once registered, an Installer is required to undergo regular inspections.

Installers on the Register can draw on expert technical advice from CORGI's technical team.
