Safety Certificates

A gas safety certificate, also referred to as a CP12 is an official document that guarantees the safety of your gas appliances and flues. Gas safe registered engineers have to issue the certificate. It is a legal requirement for hotel owners, landlords, and B&B owners. To prevent dangerous accidents it is recommended that homeowners have an inspection for gas safety carried out by a qualified tradesperson every year.

The CP12 can be used to verify the quality of all gas appliances and equipment on your property by a skilled and certified engineer. They will review the critical information to determine if the installation is operating correctly and in compliance with standards for safety. They will also check the safety of fireplaces and flues.

If a problem is discovered, the engineer will note it on the CP12 and will take the necessary steps to rectify it. They will then issue an updated version of the certificate to confirm that the gas equipment is safe for use.

Landlords are legally bound to conduct annual inspections of their non-domestic property gas appliances and flues, according to The Gas Safety (Installation and Use) Regulations 1998. Failure to adhere could result in hefty penalties or fines.

During the inspection, the engineer will test the appliances, their connections, and flues. They will then assess the condition of the pipework and any other gas-related installations like the boiler. They will also record their findings on the CP12 which must be handed out to tenants within 28 days from the date of the inspection.

Gas registered engineers who are safe must check vessels and leisure boats like lodges and caravans, regularly to ensure they are in good working condition. The engineer will examine all gas appliances and equipment, as well the flues and connection points in the vehicle or vessel. The engineer will then issue the owner an “Landlord Gas Safety Record For Leisure Accommodation”, or CP2.
