Short answer
The Gas Safety (Installation and Use) Regulations 1998 require anyone in control of gas appliances at work to keep them safe and maintained, and landlords of let commercial premises must arrange annual checks of appliances they provide. In practice, insurers, landlords and inspectors expect a current certificate, renewed every twelve months.
What the inspection covers
Appliance operation, burner pressure and gas rate, flue performance, safety devices, ventilation, labelling, the ECV and a tightness test of the pipework.
Which certificate
Most premises receive a non-domestic gas safety record; commercial kitchens a CP42; mobile catering a CP44; new installations a CP17; new appliances a CP15 commissioning record; pipework testing and purging a CP16.
Figures are typical for UK natural gas. The current edition of the relevant IGEM standard and the manufacturer's instructions always take precedence on site.
