How Long Does Gas Safe Registration Last?
Gas Safe registration for engineers is commonly renewed on an annual cycle, while underlying competence categories (often associated with ACS-style assessment) follow their own reassessment periods. Track registration and category dates independently, verify live register details when needed, and do not invent fees or fixed national prices here.
Quick answer
Expect annual registration renewal for the engineer or business pathway you use, plus separate category expiry dates. A current card photo does not prove every appliance category is in date. Confirm periods with Gas Safe Register and your assessment centre — rules and fees change.
Two clocks, one worker
| Record | Typical focus |
|---|---|
| Registration / card validity | Often annual — verify current rules |
| Competence categories | Own reassessment cycles |
| Business registration | Separate from individual engineer where relevant |
| Job allocation | By category, not by a single green cell |

Honest limits
FieldClear stores Gas Safe records you assign. It does not verify the live register, confer registration, state fees or determine lawful scope. Check Gas Safe Register directly. Not legal advice.
