Common questions
How often should the gas safety check (RGI Declaration of Conformance) be done in Ireland?
No interval is fixed by law in the Republic of Ireland. Every 12 months is the usual good practice. Beamwise keeps the date on your register, but only sends reminders for what the law requires.
Who is responsible for the gas safety check (RGI Declaration of Conformance)?
The landlord is responsible for arranging it. The work itself should be done by a Registered Gas Installer (RGI).
Does it apply to every rented property in Ireland?
No. It applies to rented properties with a gas supply (natural gas or LPG).
Is it a legal requirement?
No certificate or fixed interval is required by law for this in the Republic of Ireland, so Beamwise treats it as good practice and never chases it. No statutory gas certificate in the Republic. S.I. 137/2019, Reg 12 requires gas installations in good repair and safe working order, and local authority inspectors may ask for an RGI safety check certificate from the last 12 months (Department guidelines, August 2024).
Written from the same rule Beamwise uses to track this for properties in the Republic of Ireland, last updated . Rules change, so check the legislation named above or take professional advice before relying on it.
