GIRS Consultants

---

Lloyds Register operates the Gas Industry Registration Scheme (GIRS)  on behalf of the UK Gas Transporters. 

Our GIRS Consultants will perform a technical assessment of your companies management system to confirm it is fully compliant with GIRS requirements. Our GIRS Consultants will support and guide you through the process to becoming GIRS registered providers (commonly known as Utility Infrastructure Providers (UIPs)), for work associated with the construction of new gas infrastructure operating up to 7 bar pressure.

As a GIRS registered provider, you will be able to undertake new gas connections, services alterations or disconnections, dependent on the scope of your accreditations.

The scopes of registration up to 7 bar pressure:

• Design
• Construction/Commissioning/Connections (Routine) [CCCR]
• Project Management
• Audit
• Connections (Non Routine, Basic) [CNRB]
• Specialist Iris Stop Connections
• Specialist Stopple Connections
• Specialist Hot Welding Connections
• Specialist Large Diameter PE Branch Connections

The GIRS accreditation mark represents the achievement of a high technical, quality and safety standard and is recognised by all UK Gas Transporters. Accreditation under the scheme will provide the accredited provider with the following benefits: 

• a standardised set of requirements
• single point of contact
• accreditation recognised by all UK Gas Transporters
• the Accreditation Mark, assigned to registered UIPs, will represent the achievement of a high technical, quality and safety standard.
