Why Landlords Need a Gas Safety Certificate
All landlords must ensure that their properties are equipped with an official Gas Safety Certificate. This certificate proves that a qualified engineer has inspected every gas appliance and flues in the home, and that they are safe to use.

Safety Certificates
Gas safety certificates, sometimes referred to by the abbreviation CP12 are official documents that confirm the safety of your gas appliances. Gas safe registered engineers have to issue the certificate. It is legally required for landlords, hotel owners and B&B owners. To avoid accidents that could be dangerous, it is recommended that homeowners have an annual gas safety inspection conducted by a licensed tradesperson each year.
The CP12 is used to verify that a qualified and experienced engineer has inspected all the gas appliances and equipment within your home. They will scrutinize the data to determine if the system is functioning 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. They will then issue an updated version of the certificate to confirm that all the gas equipment is safe for use.
Landlords are legally obliged to arrange annual inspections of their non-domestic property gas appliances and flues according to The Gas Safety (Installation and Use) Regulations 1998. Failure to follow the rules could result in heavy fines or penalties.
During the inspection the engineer will test all the appliances in the house, as well as their connections and flues. The engineer will then evaluate the condition of any gas-related installations like the boiler and the pipework. They will also note the findings on the CP12 which must be given to tenants within 28-days of the inspection.
Boats and leisure vehicles that are used for recreational purposes, such as lodges and caravans, should be regularly inspected by a registered gas safe engineer to ensure that they are in good operating condition. The engineer will check all the gas appliances and equipment that are in the vehicle or boat, as well as the flues and connection points. They will then supply the owner with the "Landlord Gas Safety Record for Leisure Accommodation" or CP2.
