Commercial gas certificates.
Inspection, testing and certification of commercial gas appliances and installations by Gas Safe registered engineers, with clear recommendations for any remedial work.
Who needs a commercial gas safety certificate
Any UK business that uses gas appliances such as boilers and heaters needs a commercial gas safety certificate, also known as a CP12 or Gas Safety Record. Faulty gas equipment can cause fires, explosions and carbon monoxide poisoning.
Who can issue one
Only a Gas Safe registered engineer can issue a commercial gas safety certificate, and it must be renewed every year. The business owner is responsible for appointing a registered engineer; the engineer's name and registration number must appear on the certificate.
What the inspection involves
- Visual checks of gas connections, appliances and plant
- Pressure and function tests
- Results, date and recommendations recorded
- Faults repaired where possible, or the appliance made safe until it is
- Certificate issued once the installation meets the required standard
