The Gas Safety (Installation and Use) Regulations of 1998 established the rules for the safety of installations and appliances in the UK. They apply to both natural gas, and liquefied petroleum gas (LPG).
The regulations apply to all installations. They require an annual gas safety certificate by a competent person and there are no exceptions made.
What is a gas safety certificate?
A gas safety certificate confirms that the system, and any connected appliances are working at the right operating pressure. It will also state that the appliances are burning correctly because there is adequate air supply.
With this in mind, a basic gas safe inspection does not include pipework and vents, although these should ideally be inspected at the same time.
A gas safety certificate is an official government document that only a person listed on the Gas Safe Register may sign off. You may hear gas engineers referring to it as a ‘CP-12’. This name is just an echo from the past when CORGI was the controlling body for UK gas safety, and they used a form numbered 12 for the purpose.
The Gas Safe Register enables a consumer to check whether their gas engineer is competent to sign a ‘CP-12’ under the law. The register enables consumers to search for service providers, and verify they and their engineers are compliant – which we are.
Always ask to see a gas engineer’s gas register card before allowing them onto the premises. The photo identifies them and confirms the start and expiry dates of their registration.
The other side confirms the scope of work they are qualified to do, including whether they have the authority to issue a gas safety certificate in London.
