Do You Need a Gas System Compliance Certificate in Queensland?
When it comes to gas safety in your home, business, or caravan, compliance isn’t just a formality — it’s the law. In Queensland, every new gas system installation, replacement, or major modification must come with a Gas System Compliance Certificate.
At Hotgas, we want to make sure you understand exactly what this means, when you need one, and why it’s so important for safety and legal compliance.
What is a Gas System Compliance Certificate?
A Gas System Compliance Certificate is an official document that confirms your gas system has been installed, replaced, or modified safely, and meets all Queensland gas compliance requirements. Think of it as your gas safety guarantee — proof that the work has been carried out correctly by a licensed gas fitter.
When Do You Need One?
You’ll need a Gas System Compliance Certificate any time a gas system is:
- Installed for the first time (e.g., in a home, food van, or caravan).
- Replaced (such as a hot water system or commercial cooking appliance).
- Modified or extended (for example, adding extra gas outlets or changing pipework).
- When you choose a new gas supplier who hasn’t supplied that property before — they’ll require a copy of your certificate before they can deliver gas.
👉 At Hotgas, we also require a copy of any new or updated certificates for your property to stay compliant and continue supplying gas safely.
Who Can Issue a Certificate?
Only a licensed gas fitter can issue a Gas System Compliance Certificate in Queensland. All of our recommended local fitters are fully licensed and trained to ensure every installation or replacement meets gas safety standards.
Why It’s Important
- Safety first – Faulty gas systems can cause leaks, fires, or carbon monoxide poisoning.
- Legal compliance – Not having a certificate can lead to fines and penalties.
- Insurance protection – Your insurance may not cover damage or accidents if there’s no valid certificate.
Ensuring you have a gas safety certificate gives peace of mind for your family, business, or property.
How Easy Is It?
At Hotgas, we can refer you to a number of local, reliable gas fitters to contact for a quote.
Once the work is complete, you’ll be issued a new Compliance Certificate, which supersedes any previous certificates for the property.
Please remember to share a copy with us at Hotgas, as we are required to hold it on file before we can continue supplying gas.
Keep the original certificate safe for peace of mind, insurance purposes, or future property sales.
