A: CP12 certificate stands for CORGI Proforma 12. It was named when CORGI were the authorised body for gas safety. Nowadays the authority is the Gas Safe Register, with the certificate renamed and referred to as a Landlord Gas Safety Certificate. A CP12 certificate is a legal document and compulsory for all landlords, as it confirms the safety of all the gas appliances in a property.
How to get a Gas Safety Certificate (CP12)?
A Gas Safety Certificate (CP12) is a legal document issued after every gas appliance has been inspected and passed as safe in a property. This certificate is an important document for all landlord’s, especially when renting a property. The certificate confirms that all the gas appliances are deemed safe for the tenants use. Every gas appliance must meet with Gas Safe regulations, there are no shortcuts! The checks must be conducted every 12 months (annually) to confirm all gas appliances continue to meet with regulations (or risk penalties). Only a qualified Gas Safe Engineer (on the Gas Safe register) is permitted to conduct these checks.
Once every gas appliance has been tested, you will receive a CP12 Certificate. It is also known as a Landlord Gas Safety Certificate. Should an appliance/s or installation not meet with the current safety requirements, you will be advised of the remedial work needed to meet regulation standards.
If you are a landlord thinking of renting out a property, then a CP12 certificate is important to you, as it proves that the gas appliance/s are safe for the new tenants to use. A CP12 gas certificate is in fact a legal document. This document can be used by the landlord to build a sense of trust and demonstrate a duty of care, towards the new or existing tenants.
