Safety Certificates
A gas safety certificate, also known as a CP12 is an official document that confirms the safe functioning of your gas appliances and flues. Gas safe registered engineers must issue the certificate. It is an obligation for landlords, hotel owners 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 each year.
The CP12 is used to ensure that a qualified and experienced engineer has assessed all the gas appliances and equipment in your property. They will look at critical data and determine whether or whether the installation is operating properly and in accordance with the necessary safety protocols. They will also inspect chimneys and flues to make sure they are safe.
The engineer will then fix the problem and note it on the CP12. They will then issue you with a revised version of the certificate to confirm that all gas equipment is safe for use.
Landlords are legally bound to conduct annual inspections of their non-domestic properties gas appliances and flues as outlined in The Gas Safety (Installation and Use) Regulations 1998. Failure to comply could result in severe penalties or fines.
During the inspection, the engineer will test the appliances, their connections and flues. The engineer will also assess the condition of any gas-related equipment such as the boiler or the pipework. They will also record the findings on the CP12 which is required to be provided to tenants within 28 days of the inspection.
Gas registered engineers who are safe must check boats and leisure vehicles, such as caravans and lodges, on a regular basis to ensure they are in good operating condition. The engineer will examine the gas appliances and equipment, and also the flues and connection points in the vessel or vehicle. They will then provide the owner with the "Landlord Gas Safety Record for Leisure Accommodation" or CP2.
