Certified Commercial Gas Safety Certificates — CP42 & CP17 Explained
Commercial gas safety inspections help businesses identify potential hazards and maintain appropriate records of their gas installations.

The applicable requirements depend on the installation and relevant legal duties.
CP42 (Commercial Catering Gas Safety Certificate)
CP42 certificates are commonly used for commercial catering gas safety inspections in restaurants, cafés, takeaways and commercial kitchens. Inspections may cover gas cooking appliances, associated pipework, ventilation, extraction and relevant safety interlocks. Findings and any safety concerns are documented according to the equipment and inspection scope.
CP17 (Commercial Gas Safety Inspection Certificate)
CP17 inspection records are commonly used for commercial gas installations outside the catering sector, including premises with commercial boilers, water heaters and heating plant. Relevant gas appliances, pipework, flues, ventilation and safety controls are assessed as applicable, with inspection findings and appropriate documentation provided.

FAQs: Commercial Gas Safety Inspection London
A commercial gas safety certificate is a record of checks carried out on specified gas appliances or installations at business premises. Depending on the equipment and inspection scope, documentation may include a CP42 commercial catering gas safety certificate or a CP17 commercial gas safety inspection record.
The documentation records inspection findings and any identified safety concerns. It does not guarantee that every aspect of the premises or installation is compliant.
CP42 certificates are commonly used for commercial catering gas inspections in restaurants, cafés, takeaways and commercial kitchens. CP17 records are commonly used for other commercial gas installations, including premises with commercial boilers and heating equipment.
Businesses have legal responsibilities to maintain their gas installations safely, but CP42 and CP17 are not universally mandatory certificates for every commercial property. The appropriate inspection and documentation depend on the premises, equipment and applicable requirements.
How often should commercial gas safety inspections be carried out?
Commercial gas installations must be maintained in a safe condition under UK gas safety legislation. The Health and Safety Executive advises that annual inspections are generally a reasonable minimum for commercial catering equipment, although inspection frequency depends on equipment, usage and manufacturer instructions.
Many businesses arrange annual commercial gas safety inspections to maintain suitable safety records and demonstrate responsible management of their gas installations. Additional statutory annual checks apply to certain premises, including relevant residential accommodation.
Commercial gas work covered by the Gas Safety (Installation and Use) Regulations must be undertaken by engineers with the appropriate Gas Safe registration and qualifications for the equipment concerned.

Commercial gas safety inspection records document the condition of the equipment assessed at the time of inspection. They should not be treated as a guarantee of safety for a fixed period.
Although annual inspections are common, the appropriate reinspection interval depends on the equipment, operating conditions, manufacturer guidance and applicable legal obligations. Businesses should follow a suitable inspection and maintenance schedule.
A commercial gas safety inspection may include gas tightness testing, appliance safety checks, accessible pipework inspection, ventilation assessment, flue and combustion checks, and testing of relevant safety controls and interlocks.
The exact checks depend on the premises, equipment and agreed inspection scope. Findings are documented, and any identified defects or recommended remedial work are explained.
