The LPG Gas Safety Record is the annual landlord check for a property that runs on LPG — bottles or a bulk tank — rather than a mains gas meter. Same legal duty as a CP12, same twelve months, same appliance grid. What changes is the supply side: there is no meter, so the record asks about the regulator, the connection hoses and the emergency control valve instead.
It sits on the Gas tab in New certificate, because LPG is gas. You need to be Gas Safe registered to issue one, exactly as you do for a CP12.
When to use this one
- The annual landlord safety check on a property supplied by propane cylinders or a bulk tank.
- Any off-mains property where you would otherwise reach for a CP12 and find the meter questions do not apply.
If the property is on mains gas, use the CP12 instead. If it is a caravan, park home, holiday lodge or boat, the Leisure Industry Landlord Gas Safety Record is the right one — that is coming shortly, and until it lands the LPG record covers the same checks.
Filling it in
The appliance section works exactly as it does on a CP12 — add each appliance, tap Scan data badge to read the make, model and serial off the rating plate, and record the usual safety device, ventilation, flue flow and spillage checks.
Three extra questions sit under each appliance, because the LPG record asks for them:
- Landlord's appliance — is it the landlord's, or the tenant's own?
- Appliance serviced — separate from inspected. You can inspect an appliance without servicing it.
- Visual condition of flue and termination — the eyeball check, which is not the same as the flue performance test above it.
Then the Audible CO alarm block, which is asked per appliance, not once for the property. That is deliberate: a house can easily have an alarm covering the boiler and none covering the hob, and one answer for the whole record would hide that.
The LPG supply block
Six things, and this is the whole of what makes it an LPG record:
- Cylinder / final connection hoses satisfactory
- Gas tightness satisfactory
- Gas installation pipework visual inspection satisfactory
- ECV accessible and operable
- LPG regulator operating pressure
- LPG regulator lock-up pressure
Both pressures are in mbar and the unit is locked, so a reading can never be read back as bar by mistake. Mucka will not tell you a pressure is wrong — you record what you measured and you make the call. That is the same rule across every certificate: no cert here turns a regulation threshold into an automatic pass or fail.
There is also an Equipotential bonding row marked optional. It is not on the paper LPG record, so nothing makes you answer it — it is there because it is on the CP12 and some engineers want it. Leave it blank and the certificate prints without it.
What comes out
One landscape page: the appliance grid with the CO alarm columns, the supply strip with both regulator pressures, anything you flagged as a defect, your comments and both signatures. Approve it and Mucka allocates the serial, renders the PDF and offers to email it to the landlord.
The next inspection date fills itself in twelve months ahead and follows the inspection date until you change it yourself. That is what puts the property into your renewal list, so Mucka starts chasing the re-inspection before it lapses.
If an appliance fails
Same as a CP12. Mark it Immediately Dangerous, At Risk or Not to Current Standards and Mucka offers to draft the Gas Warning Notice for you, pre-filled with the unsafe appliances, the landlord and the tenant. You still review and approve it like any certificate — nothing goes out on its own.
