What is GIRS (Gas Industry Registration Scheme)?
The Gas Industry Registration Scheme (GIRS) is operated by Lloyd’s Register on behalf of the UK gas industry. It certifies Utility Infrastructure Providers (UIPs) to design and deliver new gas infrastructure works to recognised technical and safety standards. GIRS is essential for contractors and UIPs working on gas mains, service pipes, and meter installations. It ensures that providers are competent and compliant with national gas industry requirements.
