There is no doubt about working on gas appliances as a paid job - you must be an RGI. Working on your own appliances is less clear. Unless things have changed recently the law says you must be competent to do so but doesn't define competent. So it's a retrospective judgement - if you and your house survive then you were adequately competent, otherwise not. Even less clear is doing work informally for a friend without payment.
As for the competence of RGIs that's another question. The law says they are competent by virtue of having passed the relevant exams to become an RGI but real life experience suggests otherwise in too many cases.
As for CORGI, that's now just a members' club and carries no official recognition.
