Why Landlords Need a Gas Safety Certificate All landlords are required to ensure that their properties are equipped with a valid Gas Safety Certificate (CP12) in place. This certification shows that an engineer has inspected the safety of all gas appliances and flues within the property. Gas Safe engineers all carry a photo ID card. You should request to see it before any work takes place on your property. The card demonstrates that the engineer is registered on the Gas Safe Register. 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 legally required for hotel owners, landlords, and B&B owners. To prevent dangerous accidents it is recommended that homeowners get an inspection for gas safety conducted by a licensed tradesperson each year. The CP12 can be used to confirm the quality of all gas appliances and equipment that are on your property by an experienced and certified engineer. They will look at critical data and determine whether or not the installation is working properly and in accordance with the required safety protocols. They will also check the safety of flues and fireplaces. The engineer will then correct the issue and write it down on the CP12. They will then issue an updated version of the certificate to confirm that all gas equipment is safe for use. Gas Safety (Installation and Utilization) Regulations from 1998 stipulate that landlords are required to perform annual inspections of their non-domestic gas appliances and flues. Failure to comply could result in heavy penalties or fines. During the inspection the engineer will conduct a test on all appliances within the property, as well as their connections and flues. They will then assess the condition of the pipework and any other gas-related appliances, like the boiler. They will also note their findings on the CP12, which is required to be given to tenants within 28 days from the date of the inspection. Leisure accommodation vehicles and boats that are used for recreation purposes, such as caravans and lodges, must be regularly inspected by a registered gas safe engineer to ensure they are in good working order. The engineer will examine all gas appliances and other equipment within the boat or vehicle, as well as the flues and connection points. They will then provide the owner with a “Landlord Gas Safety Record for Leisure Accommodation” or CP2.
