Why Landlords Need a Gas Safety Certificate All landlords must ensure that their properties are equipped with an official Gas Safety Certificate. This certification proves that a licensed engineer has examined every gas appliance and flues in the home, and that they are safe to use. All Gas Safe engineers carry a photo identification card which you should request to see prior to any work that is carried out at your home. The card confirms that the engineer is 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. It must be issued by a registered gas safe engineer and is a vital legal requirement for landlords as well as the owners of B&Bs and hotels. To prevent dangerous accidents, it is recommended that homeowners undergo an annual gas safety inspection conducted by a licensed tradesperson every year. The CP12 is used to confirm that a qualified and experienced engineer has assessed all the gas appliances and equipment within your home. They will examine critical data to determine if the system is working properly and in compliance with standards for safety. They will also check the safety of fireplaces and flues. The engineer will correct the problem and note it on the CP12. The engineer will then issue an updated version to verify the safety of all gas equipment. Gas Safety (Installation and Utilization) Regulations from 1998 stipulate that landlords are required to perform annual inspections of their gas appliances that are not used for domestic use and flues. Failure to do so could result in substantial penalties or fines. During the inspection, the engineer will inspect the appliances, their connections and flues. They will then evaluate the condition of the pipework and any other gas-related installations such as the boiler. They will also write down the findings on the CP12 which is to be handed over to tenants within 28-days of the inspection. landlord gas safety certificate milton keynes and vehicles for leisure accommodation that are used for recreation purposes, such as lodges and caravans, should be regularly checked by a gas safe registered engineer to ensure they are in good operating condition.
