Please read the CoP for the full details of the guidance for the setup and use of an LPG Generator
Please note: Throughout this series of articles we have used the word ‘shall’ in all circumstances rather than swapping between should and shall. The difference is important and the CoP specifies which are mandatory and which are not – your LPG certified Gas Engineer can help you to understand where there is any scope. By using ‘shall’ in all circumstances here we are reducing the impact of any misinterpretation caused by our paraphrasing of the code of practice.
