The Gas Safety (Installation and Use) Regulations1998 act, now ensures by law that all Landlords must be able to provide their tenants with an up-to-date Gas Safety record. By law, landlords must have all gas appliances serviced regularly, normally once a year, by a Gas Safe-registered engineer. The Gas Safe registered engineer will provide a Gas Safety record upon completion of the check.
The record of a gas safety check must contain -
- A description and location of each appliance and/or flue checked
- Name, registration number and signature of the engineer who carried out the check
- A date on which the appliance and/or flue was checked
- The address of the property at which the appliance and/or flue is installed
- The name and address of the landlord (or his agent where appropriate)
- Any defect identified and any action required or taken to fix it
- Confirmation of the results of operational safety checks carried out on the appliances.
