Pre-requisites

All individuals must hold the specified NCO (Gas) Service Layer or NCO (Gas) Main Layer as shown above. 

Individuals must also hold a valid EUSR registration for SHEA Gas. 

For Meter Disconnection registration, the individual’s employer must hold a Gas Safe business registration that includes ‘Meter Disconnection’ as required by HSE/Gas Safe. Additionally, at least one appropriately qualified individual must be listed on EUSR and the Gas Safe Register. For businesses or employers using this registration route, please refer to the Meter Disconnection page for detailed requirements and processes. 

Individuals holding EUSR Meter Disconnection registration are required to also re-register for Meter Disconnection at the same time as re-registering their NCO (Gas) Service Layer or Main Layer registration(s). Where both are applied for at the same time, only a single registration fee is charged.
