Why Landlords Need a Gas Safety Certificate
All landlords are required to ensure that their properties are equipped with an official Gas Safety Certificate. This certification proves that a qualified engineer has checked all gas appliances and flues within a property, and that they are safe to use.
Gas Safe engineers all carry a photo ID card. You should ask to see it before any work is carried out on your property. The card confirms that the engineer is a member of the Gas Safe Register.
Safety Certificates
Gas safety certificates, sometimes referred to by the acronym CP12, are official documents that prove the safety of your gas appliances. Gas safe registered engineers have to issue the certificate. It is an obligation for hotel owners, landlords and B&B owners. It is recommended that homeowners have an annual gas safety inspection performed annually by a certified tradesperson to prevent accidents that could be dangerous.
The CP12 is used to confirm that a qualified and experienced engineer has evaluated all gas appliances and equipment in your property. They will scrutinize the data to determine if the appliance is operating correctly and in compliance with standards for safety. They will also check the safety of fireplaces and flues.
If a problem is identified The engineer will write it on the CP12 and will take the necessary steps to rectify it. They will then issue an updated version of the certificate, which will confirm that all gas equipment is safe to use.
Gas Safety (Installation and Utilization) Regulations from 1998 stipulate that landlords must conduct annual inspections on their non-domestic gas appliances and flues. Failure to do so could result in substantial fines or penalties.
During the inspection, the engineer will inspect the appliances, their connections, and flues. The engineer will also assess the condition of any gas-related installations like the boiler and the pipework. They will also note their findings on the CP12 that is required to be given to tenants within 28 days of the inspection.
Boats and leisure vehicles that are used for recreation purposes like lodges and caravans, must be inspected regularly by a gas safe registered engineer to ensure that they are in good operating condition. The engineer will examine all gas appliances and equipment as well the connection points and flues in the vehicle or vessel. The engineer will then issue the owner a "Landlord Gas Safety Record for Leisure Accommodation" or CP2.
