Why Landlords Need a Gas Safety Certificate All landlords are required to ensure that their properties are equipped with an appropriate Gas Safety Certificate (CP12) in place. This certification proves that a licensed engineer has inspected every gas appliance and flues in the property, and has confirmed that they are safe to use. All Gas Safe engineers carry a identity card with a photo that you must ask to see prior to any work that is carried out at your home. The card demonstrates that the engineer is on the Gas Safe Register. Safety Certificates A gas safety certificate, also known as a CP12 is a legal document that confirms the safe functioning of your gas appliances and flues. It is issued by a registered gas safe engineer and is an important legal requirement for landlords and the owners of B&Bs and hotels. It is recommended that homeowners have a gas safety check every year by a certified tradesperson to help prevent dangerous accidents. The CP12 is used to confirm that a competent and trained engineer has evaluated all gas appliances and equipment in your property. They will examine critical data to determine if the system is operating correctly and in accordance with the standards for safety. They will also examine chimneys and flues to make sure they are safe. The engineer will correct the problem and note it on the CP12. The engineer will then issue a revised version to confirm the safety of all gas equipment. Landlords are legally obliged to arrange annual inspections of their non-domestic property' flues and gas appliances, according to The Gas Safety (Installation and Use) Regulations 1998. Failure to comply with this requirement could result in substantial penalties or fines.
