I have been asked to fill out a cp17 the firm who asked me to do it say they fill it out for any work done I had a look at the corgi cp books and that says cp17 is for non domestic install my question is there such a thing as a cp form for work carried out in a domestic premises
 
I have thought about it and decided they want a test and purge certificate I found an old commercial test and purge book of mine and it said cp16 so im guessing the domestic test and purge at one time was a cp17 and the name has stuck at that firm
 
bet they mean a cp12 (landlords gas safety) that's more likely if your in a domestic premises and you work on anything gas you got check all gas applainces. so a cp12 covers their a**e. Done quite a bit of subby work and they all want a CP12/gas safety check. Only needs to be a visual on appliances you don't work on.
 
how can you do a visual on a fire chimney?

you just do a cp12 for the appliance you've worked on, gas meter and pipe work leave the rest off!
 
you dont need to record the required visual risk assessment of appliances on any gas certs, but many companies, HA, Counsil's do just to have a record of appliances installed and gas safe recommend you do note them down.

you should do a visual risk assessment on the other appliances really. Inc flame picture if you have disturbed its gas supply. its all in the gas safe technical bulletin TB sumet or other.

for a gas fire you can visually check the terminal, and any visable parts of the flue but you not expected to go beyond what you can see. You can spot signs of spillage etc.....
