06 Latest news GasTrac is coming soon! By Darren Tilley, Senior Inspector Gas Installations and Appliance Safety ESV will launch GasTrac later this year, a new online gas installation acceptance system that will make managing gas applications quicker and easier. The new system will allow gas professionals to actively manage gas applications online and ensure faster turnaround times for Gas Supply Approvals and Gas Installation Acceptances. The GasTrac online system enables users to: »» submit information on Complex gas installations and Type B appliances »» check the status of active gas applications »» access applications »» achieve faster turnaround on acceptance and issuing of gas supply approvals. New look correspondence This means the look and feel of correspondence generated by your Gas Application will be slightly different. The changes include updated email correspondence and reformatted correspondence letters in PDF format. The Conditions of Acceptance letter (COA) will now contain links (where appropriate) for: »» Consumer piping test report »» Protection of combustible surfaces form »» Type A Appliance Certification Details »» Type B Appliance Checklist The new format of the COA letter will also include links to gas technical information sheets that are relevant to your Application for Acceptance. To assist your transition to the new format, you can view or download the new COA letter and updated forms by clicking here. Gas application number no longer pre-populated on forms It is important to note the gas application number and applicant details will no longer be pre-populated. You will need to insert this information into the relevant sections and forms prior to returning the information to ESV. External launch We are excited to be launching the new system later this year and will keep you posted as we progress.      -    •        • • • • • • • • •     -                                                                           • • • • • •                                • • • • •            -    •        •         •            •                        
