All landlords must ensure that their properties have an active Gas Safety Certificate (CP12) in place. This certification proves that a certified engineer has checked all of the gas appliances and flues in the property, and that they are safe to use.

Safety Certificates
Gas safety certificates, also known by the abbreviation CP12 are official documents that verify the safe operation of your gas appliances. Gas safe registered engineers have to issue the certificate. It is an obligation for landlords, hotel owners and B&B owners. It is recommended that homeowners undergo an annual gas safety inspection every year by a certified tradesperson to prevent accidents that could be dangerous.
The CP12 is used to verify that a competent and trained engineer has inspected all the gas appliances and equipment in your property. They will look at important data and determine whether or whether the installation is functioning properly and is in compliance with required safety protocols. They will also examine the safety of flues and fireplaces.

Landlords are legally bound to schedule annual inspections of their non-domestic properties flues and gas appliances, as outlined in The Gas Safety (Installation and Use) Regulations 1998. Failure to adhere could result in heavy penalties or fines.
During the inspection the engineer will test all the appliances in the building and also their connections and flues. The engineer will then evaluate the condition of any gas-related equipment such as the boiler or the pipework. They will also write down the findings on the CP12 which must be given to tenants within 28-days of the inspection.
Gas registered engineers who are safe must check leisure accommodation vehicles and boats, such as caravans and lodges, on a regular basis to ensure they are in good working order.

The engineer will then provide the owner the "Landlord Gas Safety Record for Leisure Accommodation" or CP2.
