Gas Safe Certification

What is involved with a Gas Safe Certification Test?

What Gets Checked?

If your appliance is burning correctly and not producing the harmful Carbon Monoxide
• harmful gases are being removed from the appliance safely to the air outside (Flue & Vent Checks)
• Check that any ventilation routes are clear and work properly
• All the safety devices are working as a minimum, the recording of a Gas Safety check must check:
• Appliances are positioned in the right place
• Any flue, Vent or chimney serving appliances is safe and installed correctly
• There is a good supply of combustion air (ventilation) to all appliances
• To make sure appliances are on the right settings and are all burning correctly
• Appliances are all operating correctly and are safe to use

The Certificate for Gas Safe will include:

• Full Description and location of each appliance and/or flue checked
• Name, Registration number and signature of the engineer who carries out the check
• Date on which the appliance and/or flue was checked
• The address of the property at which the appliance and/or flue is installed
• The name and address of the landlord (and the letting agent if applicable)
• Any defect identified with appliances, equipment, pipes and any action required or taken to fix it
• Confirmation of the results of operational safety checks carried out on the appliances
