What is the Gas Appliances Regulation (GAR)?
The Gas Appliances Regulation applies to devices that use gas for fuel and their parts. It covers both new and used appliances brought in from outside the EU and all ways of selling them, including online sales.
What Happens During the Inspection
A qualified gas engineer is on the Gas Safe register. When they make their inspections, they check the following:
- Gas tightness in appliances
- Working pressure and standing of gas appliances
- Flue flow that ensures the safe removal of products of combustion
- The safe operation of flame failure products
- Chimney flow for gas and fume discharge
- Full system installation safety and gas tightness
- Adequate ventilation for products
- Burner pressure and gas rate of appliances
- Overall condition by checking any unsafe features
The Health and Safety Executive states that a residential property’s permanent and portable gas appliances and flues should be checked annually.
Although this does not mean that landlords have the responsibility to have their tenants’ gas appliances checked, the pipes and flues these products are connected to must be inspected and cleared.
Get a Gas Safety Certificate for your rented property
Landlords, letting agents, and property owners must have a CP12 or Gas Safety Certificate every year to ensure all gas appliances in their property are working safely and efficiently.
If you own or manage a residential property, this certificate is required by the UK Government. You’ll also get this document when a Gas Safe registered engineer installs a gas appliance in your building.
