This application form is used to convert your certificate of competency to a gasfitting permit.
This fact sheet explains what your entitlements are and how to obtain a gasfitting permit when surrendering your certificate of competency to Building and Energy.
CoCs were issued by the State Energy Commission (SEC) in the 1980's and early 1990's so that the holder could carryout gasfitting work. Each CoC carried an endorsement identifying a class of gasfitting which the holder could perform:
In the early 1990's the issuing of CoCs was phased out in favour of permits as the primary licensing method for gas fitters.
The Gas Standards (Gasfitting and Consumer Gas Installations) Regulations 1999 were introduced in 1999. These regulations better reflected the needs of industry by referencing national standards and introduced a more appropriate gas fitter classification system:
All classes of gasfitting may be restricted e.g. restricted to installation or to LP Gas only etc.
