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.

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.
