Specialist commercial gas records

CP15 and CP16 Commercial Gas Certificates London

Request guidance for CP15 and CP16 commercial gas certificate enquiries in London where the requester has named specialist gas record wording, testing, purging, commissioning, pipework, plant or site-specific commercial gas paperwork. Send the exact wording, postcode, business type, appliance or installation details, access notes and deadline so the enquiry can be checked before a visit is confirmed.

Quick answer

CP15 and CP16 are not general replacement names for every commercial gas certificate. They are usually requested for more specific commercial gas record situations, so the wording from the insurer, landlord, contractor, facilities team or managing agent matters.

Where this page helps

Specialist commercial gas record enquiries

This page is for customers who have been specifically asked about CP15, CP16 or similar specialist commercial gas paperwork. It is separate from the CP17 page because the request may relate to testing, purging, commissioning, pipework, plant or site-specific documentation rather than a standard non-domestic gas record.

Facilities and plant teams

Useful where a facilities manager, contractor or estates team needs a named record for plant, pipework, commissioning or a managed commercial area.

Commercial landlords and agents

Helpful when a lease, handover, tenant works package or managing-agent compliance request names CP15, CP16 or specialist gas paperwork.

Contractor-led requests

Relevant where another contractor, project manager or insurer has specified certificate wording as part of works, reopening, remedial action or sign-off.

Mixed commercial premises

Useful where a site includes plant, pipework, commercial appliances, LPG, catering equipment or several certificate routes that need separating.

Choosing the route

CP15 and CP16 requests need context before booking

Some customers search for CP15 or CP16 because those codes appear in an email, lease, insurer note, contractor requirement or facilities document. The right next step depends on why the record was requested, what equipment or installation is involved, and whether the site also needs CP17, CP42, LPG or boiler-related paperwork.

If the request is only for a restaurant kitchen, CP42 may be closer. If it is for a shop, office, landlord-controlled installation or plant room, CP17 or a boiler route may be more relevant. If the request names CP15 or CP16, send the exact wording rather than trying to reinterpret it.

Unsure which certificate applies?

Use the main commercial gas certificate page when the requester has listed more than one certificate name, or when the site includes several gas systems.

What to send for a CP15 or CP16 enquiry

Specialist commercial gas record requests can be delayed when the exact requirement is unclear. Sending the following details first makes the enquiry easier to route.

  • Your contact name, phone number and email address.
  • Full site address, postcode, business name and business type.
  • The exact wording from the insurer, landlord, contractor, lease, facilities team or managing agent.
  • Whether the request names CP15, CP16, testing, purging, commissioning, pipework, plant or another commercial gas record.
  • Appliance or installation details, including boilers, plant, pipework, commercial appliances, meters, valves or LPG if relevant.
  • Access arrangements, including site contact, plant room keys, contractor attendance, parking, loading and working-hour restrictions.
  • Deadline and reason, such as handover, reopening, project sign-off, insurance, remedial works, annual compliance or a landlord request.
Common scenarios

Why customers ask about CP15 and CP16

These enquiries are usually specific and document-led. The customer may have been asked for a record before a site is handed over, reopened, insured, signed off or accepted by a landlord or managing agent.

Project or contractor sign-off

Send the contractor wording, installation notes, fuel type, site contact and deadline so the request can be checked before attendance.

Landlord or agent requirement

Commercial landlords and agents should include lease wording, tenant access, landlord-controlled equipment and any previous gas paperwork.

Plant, pipework or commissioning

If the request mentions plant, pipework, testing, purging or commissioning, include the relevant drawings, notes or requester email if available.

Mixed certificate requests

Some sites need CP42, CP17, CP15, CP16, LPG or boiler paperwork considered together. Send the full list rather than splitting the enquiry too early.

Trust and safety

Specialist gas record requests must be matched to the work

Commercial gas work should be handled by a suitably registered and competent Gas Safe engineer for the relevant type of appliance, fuel, installation and premises. A CP15 or CP16 request may need a different route from CP17, CP42, CP12, LPG or a boiler service.

If there is an immediate smell of gas or suspected gas escape, treat it as an emergency and follow the relevant emergency guidance before arranging routine paperwork or certification.
