Why Landlords Need a Gas Safety Certificate All landlords are required to ensure that their properties are equipped with a valid Gas Safety Certificate (CP12) in place. This certification shows that an engineer has checked the safety of all gas appliances and flues inside the premises. Gas Safe engineers all carry a photo ID card.

They will also record the findings on the CP12 which is required to be provided to tenants within 28-days of the inspection.
