What Is a CP42 Commercial Gas Safety Certificate?

A CP42 certificate, often referred to as a Commercial Gas Safety Certificate, is an official document confirming that all gas appliances, pipework and extraction systems in your commercial premises have been inspected and found safe to use.
The certification is a legal requirement under Gas Safety (Installation and Use) Regulations 1998 and has to be renewed after a period of twelve months.

The inspection will have to be conducted in each instance by a Gas Safe-registered commercial engineer qualified to perform tests on catering and industrial gas systems. The gas safety record is where all safety checks and information about a gas appliance working properly and not leaking gas and carbon monoxide are documented. If you are a landlord managing residential property, please visit our CP12 Gas Safety Certificate for Landlords in London page for domestic certification requirements.

Who Needs a CP42 Gas Safety Certificate in London?

The CP42 certificate is mandatory for all sites where gas is used for commercial activity. The sites include:

  • Restaurants, cafes, takeaways and caterering kitchens
  • Hotels, pubs and bars
  • Education institutions like schools and colleges
  • Administrative offices and warehouses, and factories
  • Real estate landlords and property management agencies

Why CP42 Certification Matters

Legal Compliance and Insurance Protection
The CP42 is a valid document that shows that your business has met all criteria set by Gas Safety Regulations from 1998. The document is normally needed when applying for operational licenses and renewing insurances.

Safety for Staff, Tenants & Customers
Faulty or poorly ventilated gas appliances can lead to carbon monoxide poisoning, fires and explosions. Regular inspections ensure every component operates safely and efficiently.

Preventing Fines and Downtime of Operations
Without a valid CP42 certificate, your business risks prosecution, heavy fines and potential closure. Annual certification helps maintain compliance and prevents unexpected disruption.

In Safety Spectrum London’s commercial gas inspections, a comprehensive framework set out by Gas Safe is adhered to. The gas tests entail:

  • Visual examination of gas appliances and gas pipework
  • Burner pressure and gas rate testing
  • Leak testing of piping and connections

  • Testing of interlock systems for catering equipment
  • Carbon Monoxide and Carbon Dioxide Combustion Analysis
