What Is a CP12 Gas Safety Certificate?
CP12 is the commonly used name for the Landlord Gas Safety Record produced following a landlord gas safety check.
Landlords have legal responsibilities for gas safety in properties they let. Where the relevant duties apply, gas appliances, flues and associated gas installations that fall within the landlord’s responsibility must be checked by an appropriately qualified Gas Safe registered engineer.
Following the check, the engineer records the relevant results and provides the applicable Landlord Gas Safety Record.
The exact checks required depend on the gas installation, appliances present and the landlord’s responsibilities for the property.
What May Be Checked During a Landlord Gas Safety Inspection?
The engineer determines the appropriate checks for the property, appliances and installation. Depending on the circumstances, these can include the following areas.
Gas Appliances
Relevant landlord-provided gas appliances can be checked for safe operation and condition.
Flues
Relevant flue arrangements can be checked to help confirm combustion products are being discharged appropriately.
Ventilation
Ventilation requirements associated with relevant gas appliances can be assessed where applicable.
Operating Safety
Appropriate operating and safety checks are carried out according to the appliances and installation present.
Gas Installation
Relevant aspects of the gas installation are assessed in accordance with the engineer’s required inspection procedure.
Safety Record
The engineer records the applicable results and provides the relevant Landlord Gas Safety Record after the check.
Gas Safety for Rental Properties & HMOs
A CP12 should be treated as part of the wider safety management of a rental property rather than as an isolated piece of paperwork.
Planning Your Annual Gas Safety Check
Landlords should ensure applicable gas safety checks are arranged within the required timescale and that the relevant record is provided to tenants in accordance with their legal obligations.
If you manage several properties, provide the property addresses and relevant details when contacting us. We can review the enquiry and determine the appropriate coordination route with the Gas Safe registered engineers we work with.
