GIRS Accreditation

Gas Industry Registration Scheme

GIRS (Gas Industry Registration Scheme) accreditation is the gold standard for contractors and Independent Connection Providers (ICPs) working on gas infrastructure projects in the UK. It proves your business meets rigorous technical, safety, and quality benchmarks set by gas network operators and industry regulators. Achieving GIRS not only ensures compliance and reduces operational risks, but also opens up new project opportunities and builds confidence with clients. Compliancy Group is here to guide you through every step – making GIRS compliance clear, efficient, and a true business asset.

Quality means doing it right when no one is looking.
