How To Fill Out A Landlord Gas Safety Check CP12 GGIUR 26.9

Completing landlords / homeowners gas safety certificates is a part of everyday life when working in the gas industry. Landlords require one to be completed annually while homeowners may require one to be completed when selling a property etc.
Despite there being clear instructions on how to complete these documents in the form of TB55, the GSIUR and various other industry documents, there is definitely huge disparity when it comes to the standard to which different engineers complete them.
This video is a tongue-in-cheek attempt to offer some form of standardisation for any engineer who wishes to understand the correct way of completing the forms.
Gas installer / Trading title: The trading name of the company that is carrying out the inspection
Name: The company name of the company completing the inspection
Address: The address of the registered business
Gas safe register no: The registration number of the company
Gas installer ref no: The licence number of the engineer completing the certificate
Date/ Time of issue: The date / time of the inspection
Engineers name: The name of the gas safe registered engineer completing the inspection
Tenant / Homeowner details: As described
Landlord / agent details: As described
Appliance location: The part of the property that the appliance is installed in e.g., kitchen
Make: The manufacturer name from the appliance
Model: The model name / number for the appliance
Type: The type of appliance
Flue type: Is the appliance open flued, room sealed closed flue, flueless or vertex flue?
Operating pressure: Either burner pressure or inlet working pressure
Heat input: Gas rate (gross or net depending on appliance) always best to specify
Safety device correct operation: Does the relevant safety devices operate properly and within the allowed timeframe?
Ventilation adequate: Does the appliance have the required ventilation?
CO Alarm fitted: Is a CO alarm fitted (requirement in Scotland)?
CO Alarm tested: If tested, did the alarm pass its operational test?
Flue flow test: If tested, was the test successful or did the test fail?
Spillage test: If tested, was the test successful or did the test fail?
Termination satisfactory: Does the flue termination comply with regulations and MI’s?
Visual condition: Inspect the flue throughout its length. Is it fully supported and secure and installed as per MI’s?
Combustion performance ratio: CO/CO2 ratio
Appliance safe to use: Has the appliance passed all relevant 26.9 checks and is it safe to use?
Landlords’ appliance: does the appliance belong to the landlord?
Inspected: Has the appliance been inspected?
Details of any faults: Have any faults / defects / unsafe situations been identified during the inspection? Please list
Remedial action taken: If any of the above have been identified, what action was taken by the engineer on site. This can be making safe in line with GIUSP or carrying out remedials on site to rectify the issue
Details of work carried out: Detail howe the remedial action was carried out or the work carried out on site
Label / warning notice issued: Was a warning notice or label attached / issued?
Outcome of installation pipework visual inspection: Did the installation pipework conform to regulations?
Outcome of gas supply pipework visual inspection: Did the gas supply pipework supplying the meter conform to regulations?
Is the emergency control valve access satisfactory: Is the ECV accessible, local and in good working order?
Outcome of tightness test: If tested, did the installation pass a let-by, stabilisation and tightness test?
Is the equipotential bonding satisfactory: Is the bonding within 600mm of the meter outlet, before the first tee and of at least 10mm diameter?
NOTES (best practice):
Always write “No other appliances tested” below the last appliance on your certificate
Always note all appliances, even if they are only visual inspections

Another great tutorial thank you, I am amazed how “gas engineers” can charge £25 for a gas safety check.

[@AllenHart999]

£25 is way too cheap. Thanks.

Good video as always very informative and helpful to trainees Wee question tenants own appliances Michael says it best practice to check flame picture my understanding was you should always check the flame picture can you clarify if that is the case Allan. I always check them myself as had a couple I've had to cut off due to incomplete combustion and one were the flame was coming out underneath the burner on a hob. Thanks

[@michaelhunt848]

Hi Jason, Thanks for your comment. I mean its best practice to check it on a tenants own appliance as there is no obligation on you as an engineer to check a tenants own appliance. Therefor best practice would be to visually check it regardless of whether is is being recorded on the document or not.

[@timhancock6626]

I have a rented property and the CP12 I get via the managing agent is not very impressive. I used to do it myself until I retired and used electronic CP12 software from about 2005 onwards. I preferred the electronic as, after checking, you could email it or post it. Also the form is ready populated with addresses and appliance data for next year.

[@a-wahhabchaudhry6429]

which software you used?

[@mendyourhome]

New fellow KZbinr. I'll be recording a full wiring course. What are the most asked questions you get so I can cover them?

[@stevenyates6732]

When servicing igmg11 says if you can't get co2 correct it's at risk, but you do landlords inspection and R correct it passes? One form it's passed and one form it's failed

[@marksandford767]

With electronic cp12, what's the rules on it being signed by the landlord?

[@gemmapalzeaird8820]

Do these forms need to be filled out in pen ?

[@timhancock6626]

On a tenants own gas fire.......what do you do for a CP12 ? ( I know what we did on social housing contracts 🙂)

[@AllenHart999]

Although the gas regulations say that you do not need to check the tenants own fire, Techical bulletin 055 states that other regulations regarding building fabric we must inspect the flue as that belongs to the landlord.

[@timhancock6626]

Indeed, so it was fire out, builders opening inspected for dead birds/debris and cleaned, plus a flue flow test. After that you may as well go the whole hog and clean the fire, check the B.P. and spillage.......not only covering your back, but helping you sleep at night too. It also gave more scope to turn off or condemn some of the more aged appliances that were a bit iffy.

Boils my piss when i go to do a landlords check and the cert from last year is there and they put 20mbr bp for a cooker instead of gas rate

[@andrewrine9362]

Can you confirm the co2 detector requirements for boilers please

[@AllenHart999]

I will read up on this and do a video about it. Thanks.

[@MagicDoughnut]

They are required in every room there is a gas appliance now. Only a requirement for rented properties.
