Understanding Your Legal Obligations (Gas Safety Regulations 1998)
As a business owner, commercial landlord, or facilities manager in the UK, you have a legal duty of care under the Gas Safety (Installation and Use) Regulations 1998.
- These regulations mandate that all gas appliances, pipework, and flues in non-domestic properties are maintained in a safe condition.
- This typically requires an annual safety check performed by a Gas Safe registered engineer who is explicitly qualified to work on commercial gas installations.
- Failure to comply can lead to severe penalties, including substantial fines, legal action by the Health and Safety Executive (HSE), and invalidation of your commercial insurance.
- Not to mention the potentially tragic consequences of a gas-related incident.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q: What is a Commercial Gas Safety Certificate?
A: It's a legal document confirming that the gas appliances, pipework, and flues within a non-domestic (commercial) property have been checked by a qualified Gas Safe registered engineer and are considered safe to use. It demonstrates compliance with the Gas Safety (Installation and Use) Regulations 1998.
Q: Is a Commercial Gas Safety Certificate a legal requirement for my business?
A: Yes, if you are responsible for a commercial property with any gas appliances (including boilers, water heaters, cookers, etc.), you have a legal duty to ensure they are maintained in a safe condition. This typically involves an annual gas safety check and obtaining the relevant certificate(s).
Q: How often do I need a commercial gas safety check?
A: Commercial gas safety checks must be carried out at least once every 12 months by a Gas Safe registered engineer qualified for commercial work. You must keep records of these checks.
Q: What's the difference between CP17, CP42, etc.?
A: These codes refer to specific types of gas safety records. CP17 generally relates to the safety check of the gas installation pipework itself. CP42 is specifically for commercial catering establishments. Other codes exist for commissioning (CP15), testing/purging (CP16), or specific sectors like leisure (CP2). The certificates required depend on your premises and appliances. BeFix can advise on the specific checks needed for your business.
Q: Who can issue a Commercial Gas Safety Certificate?
A: Only engineers who are registered with Gas Safe Register and hold the specific qualifications for working on non-domestic (commercial) gas installations and appliances can legally perform these checks and issue certificates.
Q: What happens if my appliances fail the safety check?
A: If an appliance or installation is found to be unsafe, the engineer will explain the issue. They may need to disconnect the appliance ('Immediately Dangerous') or issue a warning notice ('At Risk'). They cannot issue a safety certificate until the faults are rectified. BeFix can provide a quote for any necessary remedial work.
Q: How long does a commercial gas safety inspection take?
A: The duration depends on the size of the property and the number and type of gas appliances to be checked. We aim to work efficiently to minimize disruption and can provide an estimated timeframe when you book.
Q: Will I receive a digital copy of the certificate?
A: Yes, BeFix can provide your Commercial Gas Safety Certificate in a digital format (PDF) for easy record-keeping, as well as a paper copy if required.
