What is an LPG Gas Bain-marie Safety Certificate?

An LPG gas bain-marie safety certificate is an official document confirming that your bain marie has passed a gas safety check carried out by a qualified Gas Safe engineer. It’s required by law if you use LPG appliances in a commercial setting, especially in the catering and hospitality trade.

This certificate proves that:

  • Your LPG bain-marie is installed correctly
  • It’s safe to use with no gas leaks or faults
  • Ventilation is up to standard
  • Emergency shut-off controls are working properly

Without it, you could face fines, invalid insurance or even closure of your business in the event of an inspection.

FAQs

The inspection looks at several key safety points, such as gas tightness, burner operation, flame supervision devices, ventilation, and any signs of wear or corrosion. The engineer will also ensure your appliance is set up according to current gas safety regulations.

No – if you’re operating a commercial food business, you’re legally required to have a valid gas safety certificate for every LPG appliance, including your Bain Marie. Using it without certification can lead to penalties and void your insurance.

Only Gas Safe registered engineers who are qualified to work with LPG appliances are allowed to carry out the inspection and issue the safety certificate. Always ask to see the engineer’s Gas Safe ID before any work is done.

A commercial LPG gas safety certificate is typically valid for 12 months. It’s best to keep track of the expiry date and arrange a renewal before it runs out to avoid any disruption to your business.

Yes – even brand new LPG appliances must be tested and certified before they’re used commercially. The certificate confirms the appliance has been installed safely and is ready for operation.

If the engineer finds a fault, they’ll explain the issue and let you know what needs to be fixed. You may need a repair or a part replaced before the certificate can be issued. Most issues are minor and can often be sorted on the same visit.

Prices can vary depending on your location, how many appliances you have, and travel time. As a general guide, expect to pay anywhere between £60 and £120 for a single appliance check. Multi-appliance discounts may be available.

Absolutely. Event organisers and local councils often request proof of gas safety certification before granting permission to trade. It’s best to have an up-to-date certificate ready before attending any food event or market.

Yes, but it must be inspected by a qualified Gas Safe engineer first. Even if the unit looks in good condition, a full check is essential to confirm there are no gas leaks, faults or safety risks before putting it into service.
