If you’re using an LPG gas generator for your business, home, event, or backup power supply, it’s vital to have a valid safety certificate. This isn’t just about ticking a box – it’s about keeping people safe, meeting legal standards, and avoiding costly penalties.

At Upkeepone, we offer professional inspections and certification for LPG gas generators across the UK, carried out by qualified gas engineers.

Why You Need an LPG Gas Generator Safety Certificate

Using an LPG generator comes with responsibilities. Whether it’s a permanent installation or temporary setup, the law requires that gas appliances are properly maintained and regularly inspected.

A valid LPG gas generators safety certificate confirms that:

  • Your generator is safe to use
  • There are no gas leaks or carbon monoxide risks
  • It meets current gas safety standards
  • You’re compliant with health and safety regulations

Without a valid certificate, insurers may refuse cover – and in some cases, businesses can face fines or be forced to shut down operations.

FAQs

An LPG gas safety certificate for generators confirms that your equipment has been inspected by a registered professional and found to be safe and compliant. It includes details of the checks carried out, any issues found, and whether the unit meets current UK safety regulations. It may also list recommendations for maintenance or improvements.

Yes. Only a Gas Safe registered engineer with the appropriate qualifications can legally carry out inspections and issue a safety certificate for LPG gas generators in the UK. It’s essential to check their ID and registration before allowing any work to go ahead.

In most cases, the certificate is valid for 12 months, though this can vary depending on how the generator is used. If your generator is used heavily or in public-facing environments, more frequent checks may be advised. Always follow the manufacturer’s and engineer’s guidance.

Technically, a certificate isn’t always mandatory for private use – but it is required by law in many commercial, rental, and public settings. Even if it’s not legally required in your case, having a safety certificate provides proof of due diligence and could be essential for insurance or risk assessments.

Yes, even portable LPG generators should be checked and certified, especially if they’re used in commercial or temporary settings like food vans, market stalls, or construction sites. Portability doesn’t reduce the risks – in fact, it can introduce more variables, so a safety check is highly recommended.

If your generator has been recently installed, hasn’t been inspected in the past year, or is showing any signs of wear, smell, or irregular performance, it’s time to arrange a check. Changes in fuel smell, unusual noise, or reduced power output can also indicate underlying issues that a safety inspection can uncover.

If any faults or safety risks are identified, the engineer will explain the issue and advise on the next steps. In most cases, minor issues can be fixed on the spot or booked in for repair. A certificate won’t be issued until the equipment is brought up to standard.

Yes, most inspection companies keep a digital record of your certificate and can issue a duplicate copy if needed. Just contact the company who carried out the inspection and provide your details or reference number.
