Landlords Gas Appliances Certificate

In 1996 the government passed a law for all landlords who rent part, or all of a property, to have all gas appliances and pipe work checked and a certificate of proof renewed every 12 months.

What does a Landlord Gas Safety Inspection include?

An approved Gas Safe Engineer will check the following:

• Check appliance for gas tight-ness.
• Check standing and working pressure, if test points available.
• Check burner pressure against manufacturers’ data plate.
• Check for satisfactory provision of all necessary ventilation.
• Test flue flow to ensure removal of products of combustion.
• Check satisfactory operation of all the flame failure devices.
• Check for physical stability, presence and effectiveness of stability brackets (where appropriate).
• Investigate any evidence of unsafe operation and report to a responsible person. An appliance can’t be deemed as having been checked, until the above checks have been completed.
• For a Landlords Safety Record inspection a tightness test of the full system should be added to the above.

As professional welding is usually carried out on construction sites, the CSCS cards are mandatory.
