Why You Need an LPG Gas Safety Certificate for Your Coffee Van

If your coffee van uses Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) – such as propane or butane – to power your espresso machine, water heater or any other equipment, it’s a legal requirement to have your gas system inspected and certified by a Gas Safe registered engineer.

A valid LPG certificate proves your setup is safe and meets UK regulations. Most councils, event organisers and market operators will ask for this certificate before they allow you to trade. Insurance companies often require it too.
