What is a Gas Safety Certificate?
A Gas Safety Certificate, also known as a CP12, is a formal document that verifies the safety of gas appliances within a property, including boilers, ovens, and hobs. This certificate confirms that these appliances are in good working order and safe to use. It also includes recommendations for any necessary safety improvements. Typically, a Gas Safety Certificate is valid for 12 months.
