Gas safety inspection and appliance service
A CO detector is a life-safety backstop, not maintenance evidence. The registered engineer's annual record is what the regulator and insurer ask for.
What does a gas safety inspection and appliance service involve?
Gas safety inspection and appliance service checks: cO/CO2 ratio, flue gas temperature, gas tightness test result, appliance operating pressure. Observed by registered gas engineer with a flue gas analyser. Annual inspection by a registered engineer is required under the Gas Safety (Installation and Use) Regulations in the UK and equivalent gas safety law elsewhere; the duty to maintain makes the annual service the accepted evidence.
- Condition that replaces the interval
- Partly. Flue gas analysis (CO, CO2, ratio) can be trended between services and a CO detector monitors the space continuously; the annual inspection by a registered engineer stays.
- Reading that proves it
- CO/CO2 ratio, flue gas temperature, gas tightness test result, appliance operating pressure
- Why the interval stays
- Annual inspection by a registered engineer is required under the Gas Safety (Installation and Use) Regulations in the UK and equivalent gas safety law elsewhere; the duty to maintain makes the annual service the accepted evidence.
- Evidence an auditor accepts
- Gas safety record or certificate per appliance with the analyser readings, signed by the registered engineer
- First move
- File the analyser readings with the certificate; the ratio trend tells you when a burner is drifting before it fails the next check.
