Why Landlords Need a Gas Safety Certificate
All landlords must ensure that their properties are in possession of an authentic Gas Safety Certificate. This certificate shows that a qualified engineer has examined all gas appliances and flues in the home, and that they are safe to use.
All Gas Safe engineers carry a identity card with a photo which you should request to see prior to any work that is completed at your property. The card demonstrates that the engineer is on the Gas Safe Register.
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 have to issue the certificate. It is a legal requirement for hotel owners, landlords and B&B owners. It is recommended that homeowners have a gas safety test carried out annually by a qualified tradesperson to avoid dangerous accidents.
The CP12 can be used to verify the evaluation of all gas appliances and equipment on your property by a skilled and certified engineer. They will scrutinize important data and determine whether or whether the installation is operating properly and in accordance with the standards for safety. They will also inspect chimneys and flues to make sure they are safe.
If a problem is found the engineer will note it on the CP12 and will take the necessary steps to correct it. They will then issue you with an updated version of the certificate to confirm that all the gas equipment is safe to use.
Gas Safety (Installation and Utilization) Regulations of 1998 state that landlords are required to perform annual inspections of their non-domestic gas appliances and flues. Failure to comply with this requirement could result in hefty fines or penalties.
During the inspection the engineer will conduct a test on all appliances within the building along with their connections and flues. The engineer will then evaluate the condition of any gas-related installation such as the boiler or the pipework. They will also write down their findings on the CP12 which must be handed out to tenants within 28 days after the inspection.
Leisure accommodation vehicles and boats that are used for recreational purposes such as lodges and caravans, should be inspected regularly by a gas safe registered engineer to ensure they are in good operating condition. The engineer will inspect the gas appliances and equipment as well as the connections and flues inside the vehicle or vessel. The engineer will then provide the owner an "Landlord Gas Safety Record For Leisure Accommodation", or CP2.
