CP44 certificate booking help for mobile catering
CP44 is the phrase many caterers, organisers and insurers use when asking for mobile catering gas safety paperwork. Customers may also call it an LPG gas safety certificate, mobile catering gas certificate, catering trailer gas certificate or food truck LPG certificate.
The important point is the same: the gas engineer must be registered and competent for the LPG work and the appliance type being checked. Gas Safe Register guidance for mobile catering refers to Commercial/Mobile Catering, LPG and the relevant appliance category. If your event, council or insurer has used specific wording, send it before booking so the visit is scoped correctly.

CP44 certificate FAQs before you call
Is CP44 the same as an LPG certificate?
CP44 is commonly used as a name for catering gas safety paperwork, especially for mobile catering. An LPG certificate is the wider phrase customers use for LPG safety checks on vehicles, trailers, commercial equipment, static caravans and properties. Tell us exactly what your organiser, council, landlord or insurer has requested before booking.
Who can issue a CP44 certificate?
The inspection should be carried out by a Gas Safe registered engineer with the right LPG and commercial or mobile catering categories for the equipment being checked. For mobile catering vehicles, the engineer needs competence for LPG and the relevant appliance type.
What is checked during a CP44 inspection?
The engineer checks the LPG pipework, cylinder setup, regulators, hose condition where relevant, isolation points, flame supervision, appliance operation, ventilation, flues where fitted and any obvious unsafe arrangement. The exact checks depend on your unit and appliance list.
How long does a CP44 certificate last?
Many event organisers, insurers and site operators expect current gas safety paperwork and commonly ask for annual checks. Check the date requirements with the organisation requesting the certificate before your booking.
What details should I send before booking?
Send your postcode, trading location, whether it is a van, trailer, stall, coffee unit, mobile bar or commercial kitchen, the LPG appliance list, any deadline, parking or access notes and the wording requested by your organiser or insurer.
What happens if the catering unit fails the inspection?
If the installation or appliance is unsafe, the engineer will explain the issue and what needs correcting. A certificate or record can only be issued when the relevant gas installation and appliances are safe for the paperwork requested.
Do event organisers or councils ask for CP44 certificates?
Yes, mobile caterers are often asked for CP44 or LPG gas safety paperwork by event organisers, councils, market managers, food courts, venues and insurers before trading. If you have a deadline, send it with your enquiry.
