Provision of Gas Tightness

Framework for the Provision of Gas Tightness.The object of the provision is to ensure the gas installations

at each of the properties listed in the Property Portfolio are safe and conform to the current 'Gas Safety

(Installation and Use) Regulations.

The gas supply installation at each property, including the ventilation requirements, will be inspected and tested for compliance with the current British Standards or equivalent and any relevant Codes of Practice and a written Gas Tightness Report produced to detail these findings.

The visit will include a visual examination of the gas supply installation and a Gas Tightness Test of all the gas pipework at each property from the transporters meter to each appliance isolation valve. Where installed the ventilation on plant rooms and kitchens will be tested for efficacy.
