In 1996, the government enacted a law requiring all landlords who rent part or all of a property to have their gas appliances and pipework inspected every 12 months, and to obtain a certificate as proof of compliance.

- Verify the proper functioning of all flame failure devices.
- Check the physical stability of appliances, including the presence and effectiveness of stability brackets, where applicable.
