Certification of gas plant operators

Description

The so-called gas fitters are professionals who, based on their competency, undertake design, installation, inspection, verification and maintenance activities on domestic gas plants supplied by gas distribution networks.

UNI 11554 certification affirms possession of the requirements to obtain this professional qualification and applies exclusively to operators of companies already authorised pursuant to Ministerial Decree no. 37/08 (art. 1 comma 2, letter e).

Main Benefits
Possession of the certificate (“licence”) is a guarantee of the competency of the professionals in this sector in order to meet the needs of a market which is becoming increasingly more demanding regarding operator competency and professionalism.

As an example, with reference to personnel certification already issued by TASNEEF-RINA Business Assurance, the licence “Fgas” is evidence of the market’s growing desire to select more carefully the professionals who carry out activities as per letters from a) to g) of MD 37/08.
