A recent news release from a UK site indicates the potential risks involved in selecting commercial kitchen plumbing operators without appropriate certification:

Date:

17 February 2012

Release No:

COISE/17-02

A gas engineer from xxxx has been fined for work he carried out on a commercial catering gas installation in a local pub, despite not being registered for such work

The Health and Safety Executive (HSE) prosecuted xxxxxxxxxx, trading as  xxxxxxxxxxxxxx, for work he carried out in the kitchen at xxxxxxxxx in Ascot. On an unspecified date between 1 and 14 August 2009, he carried out work in the pub’s catering kitchen but did not do the work in line with appropriate standards, leaving it at risk.

Operators of commercial kitchens, including those in restaurants, cafes, clubs, hotels and reception houses must be very careful that only certified and qualified plumbers are chosen to undertake any work involving commercial kitchen plumbing.

Remember that your catering business reputation depends upon word of mouth from guests as well as everything that is needed from the regulatory authorities.

You simply can’t take chances if any commercial kitchen plumbing issues emerge.
