While OFTEC registration is not legally required, it is highly recommended for individuals who work on oil-fired appliances and systems. This is because OFTEC'S registration demonstrates a level of competence and commitment to safety, and can increase credibility with customers. Additionally, many insurance companies require OFTEC registration for contractors and technicians who work on oil-fired equipment.
Individuals who want to work on domestic pressure jet appliances must have the OFTEC-101 certification. Codes of practice, safe electrical isolation, practical boiler commissioning, burner servicing, identifying installation faults, combustion analysis, combustion theory, and ventilation requirements are all covered in this certification.
Individuals must also have the relevant tank installation certification, such as OFTEC-105E, which covers domestic oil firing system installation and energy conservation measures in buildings, in addition to the OFTEC-101 certification. Heating installation designs, system layouts, ventilation and flues, pipework calculations, and energy conservation measures are all covered in this certification.
The OFT600A certification is required for those who work on domestic and non-domestic oil storage and supply installations. Codes of practice, fuel identification, tank installations, tank designs, safe electrical isolation, and British standards are all covered in this certification.
