What Is an LPG Gas Certificate?

An LPG gas certificate is a document issued by a qualified Gas Safe engineer after inspecting your LPG (liquefied petroleum gas) system. It confirms that all gas appliances and pipework in your converted horse box are installed and operating safely.

If your conversion includes a gas hob, oven, heater, or water boiler, you legally need a certificate to prove it’s been properly fitted and tested. This is especially important if you plan to hire it out, use it commercially, or travel to campsites that require proof of gas safety.

Why You Need an LPG Gas Certificate for Your Horse Box

Converted horse boxes have become increasingly popular as mobile catering units and campervans. But many people overlook the legal responsibilities that come with adding gas appliances. If your horse box hasn’t been tested by a qualified professional, it could pose a serious risk to you and others.

Here’s why getting certified matters:

  • Legal Compliance: Stay on the right side of the law, especially if using your conversion commercially.
  • Insurance Requirements: Most insurers will ask for proof of a valid LPG gas certificate.
  • Peace of Mind: Know that your gas system won’t let you down or put anyone in danger.
  • Campsite & Event Approval: Many locations now insist on seeing a current gas certificate before allowing access.

What We Check

Our qualified Gas Safe engineers carry out a full inspection and test to make sure everything is up to standard. We check:

  • Gas pipework and connections
  • Gas regulators and bottles
  • Flame supervision devices (FSDs)
  • Ventilation and air flow
  • Appliance safety and operation
  • Pressure and leak testing

Once your horse box passes inspection, we’ll issue a certificate on the spot.

Who Needs One?

You’ll need an LPG gas certificate if your converted horse box includes any of the following:

  • Gas hob or cooker
  • Water heater
  • Space heater or gas fire
  • Fridge powered by gas
  • Any catering equipment using LPG

Whether you’ve done a full self-build or had a professional conversion done, it’s your responsibility to get it tested before using the gas system.
