gas safe inspection

A landlord's gas safety certificate, also referred to as the landlord's gas safety record, is required by law to be held for all rental accommodation in the UK where there are gas appliances present. The requirement is enshrined in the Gas Safety (Installation and Use) Regulations 1998. The law requires all gas appliances in a rented property to be checked annually, with a gas safety record being completed and a copy provided to tenants. The definition of 'rented' is broad covering accommodation which is provided under a contractual arrangement for domestic staff as well as rented properties in general.Gas safety records, Sometimes referred to as a CP12 (From CORGI Proforma 12 when CORGI was UK body for gas safety matters), are completed by engineers who must be registered with the Gas Safe Register scheme which took over from the previous CORGI scheme in 2009.
Gas safety checks should be carried out on any boilers, ovens, pipework, flues, chimneys and other fixtures and fittings that burn or exhaust gas. The checklist includes:

Appliances are working at the correct pressure
Appliances are burning gas properly
There's adequate air supply to appliances
Flues and chimneys are clear so gases and fumes can be safely discharged
Safety devices on appliances are working as they shouldOnce the inspection has been carried out, and the certificate is issued it will contain the following information:

Name, ID number and signature of the Gas Safe registered engineer
Date of gas safety inspection
Name and address of the landlord or letting agent (if it's a managed property)
Address of the property
Location and info about each of the gas appliances and flues
Any problems and the follow-up action required to resolve them
Confirmation from the engineer that the check was completed properly, in compliance with legislation
Date of the next scheduled gas safety check (usually 12 months from the date of issue)
