CP12 (landlord gas safety record)

The record of the annual gas safety check that landlords must arrange. “CP12” is the old form number that most people still use for it.

Under regulation 36 of the Gas Safety (Installation and Use) Regulations 1998, landlords must have gas appliances, fittings and flues they provide checked every year by a Gas Safe registered engineer.

HSE guidance says the landlord must keep each record for at least two years, give existing tenants a copy within 28 days of the check, and give new tenants a copy before they move in. Electronic records are acceptable if they can be printed and are secure from loss and interference.

A boiler service and a gas safety check are different jobs. A service record, including one made in Tickzu, is not a landlord gas safety record.
