Gas Equipment Safety Inspections
When should you be inspecting gas cylinders?
To protect the safety of you and your staff, it is vital that inspections on your gas equipment are carried out regularly. According to the British Compressed Gases Association (BCGA) Code of Practice 7 (CP7) and the Code of Practice 47 (CP47) it is recommended that gas control regulators and flashback arrestors are checked once a year, they should be replaced after five years.
