What is Gas Compliance?

Gas compliance refers to the process of ensuring all gas work including, installations, upgrades or repairs is completed in accordance with the legal and safety requirements. For gas systems it reduces the risk of leaks, explosions and fires. Every time a new gas appliance is installed or existing systems are modified, a licensed gas fitter must certify the job with a gas compliance certificate. Gas compliance certificates ensure:

• The gas work was completed by a licensed gas fitter 
• The installation meets NSW and Australian standards
• The system has been tested and is safe to operate
• Gas appliances and pipework are installed safely 
• Systems are tested for leaks and pressure issues
• Ventilation is correct to prevent carbon monoxide build-up
• Emergency shut-offs are installed and accessible 

Why Do You Need a Gas Compliance Certificate?

Gas compliance allows your gas systems to be inspected and tested regularly to identify any underlying issues before they become of risk. This is important for not just homeowners, but property managers too, as a means of insurance if accidents occur. 

A gas compliance certificate is proof of compliance and is proof that your gas installation or inspection has been completed by a licensed contractor. Gas compliance consists of both a gas compliance certificate and compliance plate that is fitted near your system. It is required to:

• Tell your supplier that they can legally supply gas cylinders to your property 
• That your home or property meets safety requirements which is necessary if you’re buying or selling your home. 
• Make insurance claims as most policies require evidence of a valid gas certificate 
• To confirm that your gas system is safe for use and ready for connection or reconnection to a gas network. 
• To prove your gas system is legally compliant, which is compulsory in Australia.

FAQs

What is the difference between gas compliance and gas inspections?

Gas compliance refers to meeting all legal and safety standards for gas installations, provided by a compliance certificate. Gas inspections, on the other hand, are routine checks carried out by a licensed gas fitter to assess the current condition of your system and identify any faults or risks to make sure it remains safe over time.

How long does a gas compliance check take?

Most inspections take 1–2 hours depending on the complexity of your system and number of appliances.

How long does gas compliance last?

Gas compliance doesn’t expire like a license, but compliance can change over time as appliances age, systems wear out, or safety regulations are updated. For this reason, it’s recommended to have gas inspections every 2–4 years or as you install or modify your systems.

What happens if my system isn’t compliant?

We’ll outline exactly what needs to be fixed and provide a quote for repairs. Once the work is completed, we’ll issue a certificate.
