The scheme for UKLPG Approved Autogas Installers (formerly the LPGA Approved Installer Scheme) is operated by UKLPG and has been drawn up in consultation with the Department for Transport. The scheme is the only such scheme given official government recognition.
Consumers who have their vehicle converted by a UKLPG Approved Autogas Installer have the assurance of a safe and satisfactory installation backed by a Quality Assurance Programme and Consumer Code,
Only UKLPG Approved Autogas Installers can place vehicles on the UKLPG Vehicle Register - a requirement increasingly sought by insurance companies and consumers.
UKLPG also publishes Code of Practice 11, drawn up in consultation with the industry, Department for Transport and the HSE, which is the industry standard for converting vehicles to run on LPG. For details and to purchase a copy go to our publications for sale
