Why Landlords Need a Gas Safety Certificate All landlords must make sure that their properties have an appropriate Gas Safety Certificate (CP12) in place. This certificate shows that a licensed engineer has examined all of the gas appliances and flues in the home, and that they are safe to use. All Gas Safe engineers carry a identity card with a photo which you should request to see before any work is carried out at your home. This card confirms the engineer's registration on the Gas Safe Register. Safety Certificates Gas safety certificates, also known by the acronym CP12 are official documents that confirm the safety of your gas appliances. Gas safe registered engineers must issue the certificate. It is a legal requirement for landlords, hotel owners and B&B owners. To prevent accidents that could be hazardous, it is recommended that homeowners get an inspection for gas safety conducted by a licensed tradesperson every year. The CP12 can be used to confirm the evaluation of all gas appliances and equipment that are on your property by a skilled and trained engineer. They will look at important data and determine whether or not the installation is working correctly and according to the necessary safety protocols. They will also inspect chimneys and flues to make sure they are safe. If a problem is discovered, the engineer will note it on the CP12 and will take the necessary steps to correct the issue. They will then issue you with a revised version of the certificate to confirm that all the gas equipment is safe for use.
