Landlord's gas safety certificate
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
(Redirected from Gas safety certificate)
A gas safety record is a record, also referred to as a certificate, that 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.[1]
Gas safety records are completed by engineers who must be registered with the Gas Safe Register scheme which took over form the previous CORGI scheme in 2009.
