Background In 2022, the CRU published a decision paper[2] on the implementation of Non-Domestic gas works, which outlined that Non-Domestic Gas Works regulation would be folded into the existing RGI scheme without the creation of a new membership category, through the expansion of the current RGI scheme. The decision paper also sets out that the CRU would utilise a Board of subject matter experts to review applications from experienced non-domestic gas installers who do not hold relevant formal qualifications. The outcome of the review will determine whether or not an applicant is eligible to apply to the RGI Scheme, or whether, following compensation measures, an applicant is eligible to apply to join the RGI Scheme. Following a public consultation, which the CRU commenced in December 2024, the CRU published a Decision Paper[3]in December 2025, on the Implementation of safety regulations of Non-Domestic Gas Works.

This paper includes details of the CRU’s decision on: · Revisions to the Gas Safety Supervisory Criteria Document: updates to the Criteria Document, and the relevant rationale, required for the expansion of the RGI Scheme for Non-Domestic Gas Works regulation. · Changes to Legislation: The CRU has the legislative power to define Gas Works under section 9G of the Electricity Regulation Act 1999, as amended. This Decision Paper outlines the CRU’s expanded definition of Gas Works to include Non-Domestic Gas Works, through the publication of a Statutory Instrument (S.I). Subject to this legislation being approved, it will revoke and replace the existing S.I.s which define Gas Works in a Domestic setting. The updated S.I. will then cover Gas Works in both Domestic and Non-Domestic settings.

Expert Panel Member
We are currently seeking candidate(s) with a recognised technical qualification as a qualified electrician or suitably qualified in the area to critique applications in line with the national curriculum About the CRU The Commission for Regulation of Utilities (CRU) is Ireland's independent energy and water regulator. The work of the CRU impacts every Irish home and business ensuring safe, secure and sustainable energy and water supplies for the benefit of all customers. The CRU is responsible for the regulation of electrical contractors with respect to safety in Ireland. The CRU carries out this function through the Safe Electric statutory regulatory scheme, which regulates Registered Electrical Contractors (REC). The Electrical Criteria Document[1] sets out how the Scheme operates and includes that every REC must have at least one Qualified Certifier (QC). The current qualification requirements for a QC are as follows: · An Advanced Craft Certificate – Electrical (Level 6, NFQ). and · An accredited Electrical Testing and Verification of Electrical Installations certificate. The European Recognition of Professional Qualifications Directive 2005/36/EC[2] (“the Directive”) obliges the CRU to put in place a system of recognition for eligible persons from EEA Member States with relevant non-Irish qualifications applying for registration to the Safe Electric scheme as a Qualified Certifier (QC). Background In August 2019, the CRU published a decision paper[3] on the recognition processes for professional qualifications. The decision paper set out that the CRU would establish a panel of subject matter experts to review applications from applicants seeking to register with relevant non-Irish professional qualifications. In that paper, the CRU set out its policy decision to apply a similar process for applicants with relevant non-EU qualifications. In 2023, the CRU published an Information Note[4] setting out some changes to the current process, in certain circumstances. In April 2025, the CRU also launched the Automatic Recognition system to run in parallel with the General Recognition system. These changes were introduced to improve compliance with the Directive. The outcome of the review process by the Expert Panel determines whether or not an applicant is eligible to apply to join the Safe Electric Scheme as a QC with a REC, or whether following compensation measures an applicant is eligible to apply to join the Safe Electric Scheme. The Panel of Experts / Role Description The Panel of Experts consists of five suitably qualified and experienced individuals. The function of the Panel is to review, assess and highlight any potential gaps in the applicants: · Professional Qualification(s) · Additional post-qualifying education and training · Professional work experience. The Panel must examine each application within the prescribed timeline and in accordance with other requirements as set out by the CRU. These requirements may vary from time to time. Applicants will be required to fill out an application form with the relevant details relating to their qualification(s) and professional experience. The role of the Panel of Experts (“the Panel”) is to review the applications and assess if applicants have demonstrated their eligibility to an appropriate level to register as a QC with a REC with the Safe Electric scheme. The Panel will map the respective applicant’s qualification(s) against the list of essential subjects/learning outcomes of the relevant accepted Irish qualification(s). If there are any substantial differences (deficits) between the applicant’s qualification(s) and the essential subjects/learning outcomes, the Panel will assess if the applicant’s professional work experience addresses these deficits. The Panel will then decide if compensation measures need to be applied on a case-by-case basis, namely by either attending an aptitude test in the form of an interview carried out by the Expert Panel Members or completing an adaptation period under the supervision of a QC. Location It is expected that meetings will take place every 1 to 2 months, primarily online via MS Teams or occasionally at the Commission for Regulation of Utilities’ (CRU’s) offices in Tallaght, Dublin 24. The decision as to whether meetings take place virtually or in person, will be at the CRU’s discretion. Remuneration · €120.86 per application processed. It is estimated that there will be approximately 5 to 10 applications per Panel member, per meeting. · €362.59 per half-day meeting and €725.17 per full-day meeting, plus reasonable expenses at Civil Service Rates where the meeting is held in person. It is estimated that the Panel will meet a minimum of one-half day online meeting every month. Time Requirements One-half day meeting every 1 to 2 months to agree decisions where meetings take place virtually. Occasionally, full-day in-person meetings at the CRU’s offices may be required. The frequency of meetings may increase or decrease, depending upon the number of applications received. Ahead of the meetings, Panel members will be expected to have undertaken their own review and formed a view of each application to be decided. Panel members may also be required to undertake a review of an application should an applicant request an appeal of the Expert Panel’s decision. In this case, a Panel Member not previously involved in the decision will be requested to review and affirm or vary the decision of the Expert Panel. Training will be provided by the CRU upon appointment to the Panel, which Panel members will be required to attend. Additional training may be provided throughout the term, where relevant changes in practices, regulations or industry developments occur. The Candidate Essential Criteria: 1. Recognised technical qualification as a qualified electrician or suitably qualified in the area to critique applications in line with national curriculum 2. Relevant work experience related to Ireland’s electrical industry 3. Knowledge/experience of Irish vocational electrical training qualifications – particularly apprenticeships. 4.
