What is a gas certificate?
A gas compliance or inspection certificate is evidence that the gas fitter has completed work on your system and that your system complies with current legislation. It also proves that your system either natural (network gas) or bottled (LPG) is free from defects and faults.
Gas Compliance Certificate
Compliance Certificates are issued when gas fitting work is carried out on a gas installation connected to a gas network.
The gas fitter will:
- Test the installation for defects.
- Provide a certificate of compliance to the owner.
Gas Inspection Certificate
Inspection Certificates are issued when gas fitting work is carried out on a gas installation not connected to a gas network.
The gas fitter will:
- Test the installation for defects.
- Inspection of all gas bottles, regulators and connected appliances.
- Attach a compliance plate.
- Provide a certificate of inspection to the owner.
Compliance Plate
Compliance plates are attached to gas appliances throughout the home. Modern appliances have a referencing number (shown below).
| Type of Appliance | Number |
| Stationary engine power generator or air conditioner | 0 |
| Cooktop or wok cooker | 1 |
| Refrigerator or absorption chiller | 2 |
| Instantaneous water, pool or spa heater | 3 |
| Tank hot water heater | 4 |
| Hot plate, grill or BBQ | 5 |
| Oven for baking, curing or drying | 6 |
| Decorative flare or gas light | 7 |
| Room heater or space heater | 8 |
| Other appliance | 9 |
Compliance plate numbers can be found on NSW Fair Trading Website .
Who can issue Gas Certificates?
Only a fully licenced gas fitter is able to issue you with either a Certificate of Compliance or a Certificate of Inspection. It is important to ensure that anyone working on your gas service is fully licenced as it can void appliance or manufacturer's warranties as well as home and business insurance.
Fact: All licenced gas fitters are also licenced plumbers but not all licenced plumbers are licenced gas fitters.
