Less commonly known than the trendy gas fireplaces, hobs and gas geysers to which it relates, is the so-called Certificate of Conformity. This certificate, sometimes also referred to as a ‘gas compliance certificate’, is a legal requirement for all permanent liquid gas installations in a home. It must be issued by an approved inspection authority and serves to confirm that the gas installation meets the applicable safety standards.  

According to Regulations issued under the Occupational Health and Safety Act, an authorised person shall issue such a certificate after installation, modification, or alteration of a gas installation or where there is a change of user or ownership. Therefore, when a property is sold, a new certificate must be obtained, regardless of how old or recent the existing one may be.

A seller is responsible for obtaining this certificate, although the parties can agree to make it the purchaser’s responsibility.
