If you run a catering business in the UK and use an LPG gas fryer, having a valid LPG gas fryer safety certificate isn’t just a good idea – it’s essential. Whether you’re operating a mobile food van, pop-up kitchen, or a permanent food outlet, staying on top of your gas safety responsibilities helps protect your staff, customers, and your business.

What is an LPG Gas Fryer Safety Certificate?

An LPG gas fryer safety certificate is a formal document issued by a qualified Gas Safe registered engineer. It confirms that your LPG (liquefied petroleum gas) fryer has been inspected and tested and is safe to use in line with current UK gas safety regulations.

This certificate is often referred to as a commercial gas safety certificate or CP44, specifically for mobile catering setups using LPG equipment.

Why You Need One

If your business involves food preparation using LPG fryers, UK law requires you to have your appliances checked regularly by a qualified engineer. This isn’t optional. The certificate proves you’re compliant with:

  • Gas Safety (Installation and Use) Regulations 1998
  • Health and Safety at Work Act 1974
  • Local authority licensing requirements

Failing to produce a valid LPG gas fryer safety certificate during inspections could lead to penalties, refusal of insurance cover, or even closure.

Who Can Issue the Certificate?

Only engineers registered with Gas Safe Register and qualified to work on commercial LPG appliances are legally allowed to inspect and certify your fryer. Always check their ID card for their licence number and LPG qualifications.

What the Inspection Covers

When we inspect your LPG gas fryer, we check:

  • Gas tightness and pipework integrity
  • Ventilation and air flow
  • Flame quality and burner performance
  • Safety devices and emergency shut-off controls
  • Compliance with manufacturer instructions and regulations

We’ll also advise you on any safety improvements needed and offer honest, practical recommendations.

Mobile Catering? We’ve Got You Covered

If you’re running a food trailer, burger van, or mobile kitchen, regular gas safety checks are even more important. LPG equipment used in mobile settings is more exposed to wear and tear, which can lead to gas leaks or carbon monoxide risks.

We provide on-site inspections across UK, with flexible appointment times to suit your trading hours.

How Often Should You Renew the Certificate?

It’s recommended you get your LPG gas fryer safety certificate annually, or more frequently if required by your local authority or insurance policy. Keeping it up to date gives you peace of mind and ensures your business is always inspection-ready.

FAQs

Yes. Even if your LPG fryer is used infrequently, it still poses potential safety risks. UK regulations apply regardless of how often the appliance is in operation. A current safety certificate helps prove you’re compliant all year round.

It is. While both types of certificate confirm gas safety, the LPG version applies specifically to appliances using liquefied petroleum gas. Mobile catering units, trailers, and rural setups often rely on LPG – and these require a specialised inspection and certificate by an engineer qualified in LPG systems.

No, the certificate is only valid for the appliance in its current installation and under its current operator. If the fryer is moved, sold, or installed in a different location, a new inspection is required for certification.

Always ask to see their Gas Safe ID card and look for qualifications covering LPG and commercial catering appliances. You can also verify their registration directly on the Gas Safe Register website.

Using uncertified equipment can lead to serious hazards, including gas leaks, fire, and carbon monoxide poisoning. It can also invalidate insurance policies and result in legal action from authorities or event organisers.

Yes. Most engineers now issue both printed and digital versions of your certificate for convenience. This makes it easy to share with insurers, local authorities, or event organisers when needed.

Yes, an appliance might still function but not meet safety or ventilation standards. Issues like poor flueing, incorrect installation, or gas pressure irregularities can all cause a failed inspection.

You can and should perform regular visual checks, but only a Gas Safe registered engineer is legally permitted to issue a certificate. DIY inspections do not meet regulatory requirements.

Contact the engineer or company that issued it – they’ll usually have a record and can provide a replacement. Keep digital and paper copies safe for insurance and compliance purposes.
