Commercial Gas Meters ACS

Proof of current gas safe registration and at least 12 months since completion of your core competency to extend into this qualification.

Pre-requisites:
COCN1

CMA1 

CESP1

COCNPI1 (LS)
+ ICPN1
+ TPCP1 or TPCP1A.
or QCF or S/NVQ.
Engineers holding TPCP1 are deemed competent to work to IGE/UP/1, IGE/UP/1A, and IGEM/UP/1C.

Exclusions:
Calculating gas load; design; construction/installation of meter boxes, compartments or
housing; installation or replacement of ECV, service valves or their operation; meter
removal from site and subsequent disposal; testing by OFGEM, and theft of gas.
Certification in this assessment does not of itself confer approval as an ‘AMI’ registered
gas meter installer.

This course is designed for anyone seeking Initial CMET1 ACS Assessment or ACS Re-Assessment.

Range of scope for CMET1:

Primary meter installations incorporating diaphragm, or rotary displacement meters
without by-pass and of badged capacity > 6 m3/h ≤ 1076 m3/h and where the inlet pressure under normal gas supply conditions does not exceed 75 mbar and a meter regulator is to be installed.

This Assessment does not address meter installations that are not connected directly to and
downstream of the ECV, nor does it address those that are not adjacent to the ECV. Work on
such installations requires CMET2.

This Assessment does not address meter installations that are not Standard Designs, as
defined in IGEM/GM/6 Edition 2 except a by-pass is included. IGEM/GM/6 Edition 2 no longer
includes by-passes in its scope. New installations with a by-pass are covered by CMET2.
However, this assessment continues to include the safe operation of by-passes to address
existing installations.

These consist of open-book written assessments. The Open Book assessments permit obtaining answers by using approved reference material such as the Gastec manual.

All written assessments contain either multiple questions or true/false statements.
