exactly. This is what chimney sweeps in Germany are, an
official function to control gas, burners, boilers, stoves
etc. and to certificate them. Until 2 years ago you couldn't
even choose someone, you had to take the one and only official
company with the license for your area. (But they had to
charge you the official price, no price flexibility possibile
obviously).<br>

If they're a German-specific thing then why not use the German word
rather than co-opt an English one that doesn't actually match the
primary function that these people perform?<br>
