What is a Gas Testing and Purging Certificate?
When gas pipework is repaired or replaced, testing and purging must be conducted to ensure the new installation’s safety. Heating & plumbing companies with Gas Safe Registered engineers will carry out the necessary work, which may involve purging, tightness testing, and strength testing.
Once completed, the engineer will issue a Gas Testing & Purging Certificate as a report for the client to certify their work. For domestic customers, this will be a CP32 certificate. For non-domestic clients, a CP16 is used instead.
In non-domestic properties, a CP16 gas certificate is annually renewable and required under Commercial Gas Safety (Installation and Use) Legislation 2018 for all commercial buildings. Without a valid certificate, your client’s insurance may be invalidated.

What makes a PDF template better than paper?
In a nutshell, these templates make it so your engineers can complete their work in the field – issuing and filing included. They’re able to do this from their pad or other mobile device as they’re on location.
Using a PDF is simple and instinctive and simply involves filling in the information as you would on a paper certificate.
Forget about paperwork.
Digital certificates are much easier to organise. Both you and your client have the option to print out a hard copy if needed. You’ll find you can leave your paperwork at home and just take your phone or tablet with you to issue certificates.
It looks professional.
Scribbled handwriting, unbranded templates, flimsy carbon copies – this is the bare minimum. A PDF template like this can be customised to add your logo and brand name, is much neater and easier to read, and provides a digital option for customers that prefer it (especially the younger ones).
Easier to manage and organise.
These PDFs can’t be lost, damaged or defaced, or mislaid when clients move offices. You also don’t have to worry about rips, creases, smudges, coffee stains – you name it. When the job is done, simply store it in a safe folder on your device. This is much easier than having to bring your copy back to the office or home to file away after your work hours.
