Guidance for commercial tenants
Gas appliances
In the event of your premises having any form of gas appliances and / or flues they must be tested in accordance with the Gas Safety (Installation and Use) Regulations 1998. In commercial premises it is the tenant’s responsibility to undertake the tests.
The Gas Safety (Installation and Use) Regulations 1998 require that:
- A gas boiler is serviced annually by a registered contractor
- Gas catering equipment is serviced annually by a registered contractor
- All gas appliances are required to have an annual gas safety check carried out by a registered contractor.
The Health and Safety Executive has awarded Capita the contract to run a new gas installer registered scheme which replaced the one previously operated by CORGI. The new scheme came into force April 2009.
A copy of all certificates should be passed to Land and Property Services. See Contact details .
