Depends on appliance output and/or volume of gas carcase and maximum pipesize

Anything over 70kw, 0.035m3 inc meter or 35mm pipework you'll need a commercial ticket.

if the work is normal domestic boilers for shops your covered same with domestic cookers you cant do comercial cookers or boilers over 70ksometimes you can get round it by using two boilers in a premesise spliting the property but then you have to watch the size of the gas pipes or have two meters

Similarly Appliances sharing controls, gas pipe and/or flue that combined equate to over 70 Kw you will need commercial ticket.

EXAMPLE

4x gas Andrews water heaters of 20kw each with a header flue, sharing one gas supply and fed by the same controls is commercial.

thank you there was an article on gas safe magazine two months ago and some gas safe engineer was jailed for carrying work on take away shop and that look to me small size pipe but they jailed him for not carry a qualification for commercial work did not mention the size of pipes nor the out put of the unit

Commercial is referencing the gas set up and boiler Etc, not the situation its installed in (to a certain extent)

He won't have been jailed for working on Commercial with a Domestic qual.

He will have been jailed for working on gas appliances and either causing an incident or leaving the premises in a potentially or actually dangerous state and will have been reported by someone.

It would later have been found that he did not have the relevant Qual.
