Gas Safety Check

Yes the two are the exact same. In fact the name CP12 was discontinued back in 2009 but it's still commonly used today. CP12 is an abbreviation for CORGI Proforma 12.

A Gas Safety Certificate or CP12 as it's commonly referred to is required for all rental properties for each of it's gas appliances.

Failure of obtaining this may result in a £6,000 fine or six months' imprisonment for each infraction.

Please note that each gas appliance needs to be checked and require a gas safety certificate.

This ensures that the appliance is safe to use in your property and its occupants.

If your Tiger Gas engineer declares your appliance or boiler unsafe and unfit for use, we will advise you on the nature of the defects and issues occurred. We will provide you a breakdown on why it may have occurred too. 

Moving forward, we will suggest an appropriate course of action. This may include repairs or a full replacement if it is a boiler. All costs will be communicated to yourself before any further work can commence.

There are 3 different reason codes when an appliance or boiler fails.

Immediately Dangerous (ID) - This is the worst case scenario. Your appliance or boiler's faults cannot be ignored. There will be an immediate danger to yourself, the tenants of the property, the surrounding properties and your Tiger Gas engineer. Our engineer will cut the gas supply to this appliance and it will need to be replaced or removed immediately.

At Risk (AR) - This isn't as scary as 'Immediately Dangerous' but it still is very serious. Once again, our engineer will most likely cut off the gas supply to this appliance. We would generally advise for the faults to be remedied immediately before any immediately dangerous problems are created.

Not To Current Standards (NCS) - The industry standards are constantly changing. Your appliance today may not meet the standards of tomorrow. If you fail NCS, your tenant won't necessarily be in danger or at risk. As professionals of the Gas Safe register we have a duty to ensure you are safe today and tomorrow. We will advise your appliance to be brought up to code. Usually this will be a quick and small fix.
