ACS - Core Domestic Natural Gas Safety and Appliances (CCN1)

The following training and assessment packages are certificated by Logic Certification Ltd to industry led standards

Title Content type
Sector:
Code: ACS - CCN1 (plus appliance codes)
Expiry: 5 years. Candidates can undertake the re-assessment of any element up to 6 months early without losing any time (MOT Style). Previous certificates must be produced at the time of assessment as evidence.
Background:

CCN1 (or a suitable changeover) is required for any operative wishing to work on domestic gas installations and appliances. In addition, the operative must also hold the relevant appliance element relating to the work they wish to undertake.

Assessment overview:

The candidate will be assessed in the following areas:-

  • Gas safety legislation and standards.
  • Gas emergency actions and procedures.
  • Products and characteristics of combustion (inc. combustion performance analysis)
  • Ventilation.
  • Installation of pipework and fittings.
  • Tightness testing and purging.

  • Re-establish existing gas supply and relight appliances.
  • Inspect, test, commission and maintain gas appliances (Re-assessment only).
Pre-requisites:

For the initial assessment candidates must meet the entry requirements as published in The Handbook for Learners and Centres

For re-assessment candidates must have held the element previously - if this has expired within 12 months of the assessment date the initial assessment must be undertaken.

The CCN1 core domestic gas safety certificate is regarded as an equivalent to a Level 3 QCF/RQF qualification in the gas utilisation sector (which is also aligned to ACS) and satisfies the same gas safety criteria leading to a certificate of competence recognised by the Gas Safe Register.
