What is a Gas Safety Certificate?
CP12 certificates (Gas Safety Records or Gas Safety Certificates) are issued by Gas Safe Registered engineers. Customers can be homeowners, landlords, or commercial property managers. Any landlord has a legal responsibility to ensure the safety of gas appliances in their property, meaning they must possess a valid Gas Safety Certificate.
Gas Safety Certificates are valid for 12 months, and may be issued during an annual servicing or inspection.
In order to complete the certificate, the gas engineer must thoroughly inspect and if necessary test the gas appliances in the property. Like traditional paper pads, our digital template includes all the necessary fields to provide a record for this.
A Gas Safety Certificate acts as a record for both customers and your business. It should include details on what has been inspected, test results, required actions, and more.

3 benefits of a digital CP12 over your certificate book
Paper CP12 certificate pads have been the norm for decades. They’re an easy way to complete a Gas Safety Certificate that looks professional and complies with all regulatory standards. But carbon paper is old technology by now (over 200 years old, in fact) and creates double or triple the paperwork for you to deal with.
Here are some of the benefits of using a PDF template rather than buying Gas Safety Certificate pads:
Organised
With paper certificates, you end up with several copies of carbon paper. One has to go to the customer, while the others get tossed in your van before being handed to office staff or sorted through later on. Using a digital template, everything can be easily organised right there and then, on the job.
Secure
Losing a paper certificate is easy – and we’ve all done it. With a digital certificate, this is virtually impossible. And, if your customer loses their copy, it takes seconds to resend.
Professional
Writing things down digitally means no messy handwriting, no smudges, stains, creases, and tears. Fixing a mistake is also super easy right up until you export the PDF.
Our free CP12 certificate template makes the process of issuing certs simple, risk-free, and fast.
Why use software for your gas certificates?
Using a Gas Safety Certificate PDF template is a great start for your paperless journey, but it’s still only one aspect of your business.
As an all-in-one solution, Gas Engineer Software helps you do much more and save hours each week.
Rather than manually creating and organising all your quotes, invoices, certificates, schedules, job sheets, and more from scratch, software handles much of it for you. For example, quotes can be turned into invoices at the click of a button and all your records are automatically organised.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is there any difference between our PDF CP12 template and a paper certificate?
Practically speaking, there is no difference. Both paper and digital certificates are perfectly valid in the eyes of Gas Safe Register, and can be used to hand to customers.
The only difference is the added convenience of paperless solutions. And, if you want, you can always print off your Gas Safe Certificate PDFs.
How often do Gas Safe Certificates need to be replaced?
Landlords have a legal responsibility to replace their Gas Safety Certificate every 12 months to ensure the safety of their tenants.
Homeowners do not have the same requirement, and data has shown that roughly one-third skip on their annual safety checks. Find out more about how you can educate these customers on gas safety issues and get more jobs in the process.
Can I keep and reuse this CP12 certificate template?
Yes – absolutely. As long as you are not sharing an edited version of our template with our name on it, there are no requirements regarding the way you use and reuse this PDF template.
Is there a better way to organise all my certificates?
If you’ve been thinking about going paperless, starting with your certificates and using a PDF template is a great start.
They’re already much easier to organise and handle than countless paper certificates, but it’s still a manual process.
With Gas Engineer Software, all your workflow processes become interconnected. An all-in-one solution can save hours of your time each week. Start a free trial today.
