Northern Ireland Not yet in force

Changes not yet applied. Later legislation changes this provision in ways not yet written into the text below:

(1)

A person shall not convey gas in a network unless—

(a)

he has prepared a safety case containing the particulars specified in Schedule 1 and that safety case has been accepted by the Department; and

(b)

where any other person is conveying gas in that network, there is a sole network emergency co-ordinator for the network.

(2)

For the purposes of these Regulations a network emergency co-ordinator is, subject to paragraph (3), a person who has prepared a safety case containing the particulars specified in Schedule 2 and has had that safety case accepted by the Department.

(3)

Where a network emergency co-ordinator has given written notice to the Department and to all persons conveying gas in the network that he no longer intends to act in that capacity, he shall not be the network emergency co-ordinator for the purposes of these Regulations from the time such notice takes effect (which shall not be less that six months after it was given).

(4)

Nothing in these Regulations shall prevent a person who conveys gas in a network from also being the network emergency co-ordinator.
