Illustration for Plumbers, Gasfitters, and Drainlayers Act 2006

You can keep the register in different ways, such as an electronic register or any other way the Registrar chooses. The Registrar can keep the register in separate parts if they want to. The register must be available at all times, unless the Registrar suspends it or regulations say otherwise. You might not be able to access the register if the Registrar thinks it is not practical to let you. The Registrar can refuse access to the whole register or just part of it. They can also stop the register from working for a while if they need to. The Registrar gets to decide how the register is kept and when you can use it. They can make changes to how the register works if they think it is necessary. The register is an important tool, and the Registrar is in charge of it.
