Why Landlords Need a Gas Safety Certificate All landlords are required to ensure that their properties are equipped with a valid Gas Safety Certificate. This certificate proves that a certified engineer has inspected every gas appliance and flues in the property, and has confirmed that they are safe to use. All Gas Safe engineers carry a photo identification card that you must ask to see before any work is carried out at your home. The card confirms that the engineer is registered on the Gas Safe Register. Safety Certificates A gas safety certificate, also known as a CP12 is an official document that guarantees the safety of your gas appliances and flues. It is issued by a registered gas safe engineer and is an important legal requirement for landlords and the owners of hotels and B&Bs. It is also recommended that homeowners get a gas safety check every year by a licensed tradesperson in order to avoid dangerous accidents.
