Why do i need a COC certificate (certificate of compliance)?
1) Your insurance company would require you to have any fixed Gas installation done by a Registered LP gas installer whom must finalize their installation by issuing you with a COC certificate.
2) Your gas appliance warranty is reliant on a COC certificate issued to you by a registered Lp gas installer.
