Gas Safety Certificate (CP12)

Gas Safety Certificate (CP12) and Check

Landlords are required under Gas Safety (Installation and Use) Regulations 1998 to ensure that gas appliances in their properties are safe, and to keep a record of this. This record is known as the CP12. The penalties for failing to comply with this requirement are severe, landlords have been handed prison sentences for failing to ensure that gas appliances are maintained properly.

As a minimum, the record of a gas safety check must contain:

• A description of and the location of each appliance or flue checked
• The name, registration number and signature of the individual carrying out the check
• The date on which the appliance or flue was checked
• The address of the property at which the appliance or flue is installed
• The name and address of the landlord (or their agent where appropriate)
• Any safety-related defect identified and any remedial action taken
• Confirmation that the safety check has included an examination of the matters referred to in paragraphs (a) to (d) of  regulation 26(9) of the Gas Safety (Installation and Use) Regulations 1998
