Certificate of Gas Safety

The CP12 certification of a landlord is a legal requirement and an important piece of paperwork that verifies that your gas appliances have been inspected by Gas Certified Engineers. A gas safety certificate, often known as a CP12, is a service that involves a Gas Safety licensed engineer examining your gas equipment.

If you’re a landlord, you’ll need to have a gas safety checkup every year by law, and you’ll need to make sure you have a gas safety certificate from a trained engineer.

Landowners are required by law to provide renters with a copy of the gas safety certificate. When you move into a new rental home, however, the landlord is required to deliver the gas safety certificate within 28 days following the safety inspection. Then, if you still haven’t located it, ask your landlord or estate agent why they haven’t found it.

What exactly does the engineer look for?

Engineers will mostly inspect gas equipment such as boilers, ovens, and hobs, as well as chimneys and flues.

This safety inspection includes:

  • A visual inspection of the gas meter and a leak check.
  • The gas pipelines are inspected for leakage.
  • Check the pressure in the appliance.
  • Check for a connected flue or chimney.
  • Checking the functioning of the appliance 
  • Analyses of combustion on the stove and in the oven.
  • The appliance has been properly installed and is linked to the gas lines.
  • The space is well-ventilated; gas requires air to ignite properly and cleanly.
  • All safety systems are functioning according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
