This Act has a few main purposes. You need to know what these purposes are to understand the Act. The purposes are to keep you and the public safe and healthy. The Act does this by making sure people who do sanitary plumbing, gasfitting, and drainlaying are competent. It also regulates people who do these jobs. This means the Act sets rules for them to follow. The Act also appoints and regulates certification authorities, which are organisations that make sure people are competent to do these jobs, as changed by section 44 of the Self-contained Motor Vehicles Legislation Act 2023.
