Its a PR and sales scam, firstly this legislation only applies to commercial use and not hobbyists and they are trying to present it in such a manner to appear as if it applicable to the hobbyist, next they gain your consent to enter your property and inspect your equipment and tell you that you need XY and Z to comply with legislation which doesn't apply to you anyway, and most people end up spending a lot of money unnecessarily to comply with something they have no need to comply with.
In the future BOC and other companies lobby the Government to make all equipment, commercial and domestic, fall under the same legislation and cite all this evidence they have from hobbyists as being dangerous.
Two points here, BOC wanted your information for their gas safety team; you are not obliged to give it to them as personal information is YOUR private property as defined in numerous legislation. By agreeing to give your information there will be other conditions which often mean they can share your personal information with others, usually for profit.
