Current Gas Law Update:

The State Fire Marshall’s final rules proposal for the new gas licensing was just passed.  Below you will find what we believe to be an important part of these rules that pertain to licensing of existing technicians:

Saf-C 8003.5

has :
a.  A minimum of 8,000 hours of field experience relevant to the installation and service
of gas appliances and equipment; and
b.  Has received educational training for installation and service of gas appliances and
equipment.

(b)  At the first renewal of the technician's license, the technician shall provide proof of completion of an 8 hour
NFPA 54 National Fuel Gas Code class or an approved test on NFPA 54 National Fuel Gas Code.  This Shall be in       addition to the required continuing education pursuant to Saf-C 8008.02 (a)(4).  An individual that fails to meet this
