What gas compliance paperwork does NSW require?

Network or non-network decides the certificate

NSW splits gas jobs by whether the installation is connected to a gas network. Both have a 5 business day window after completion.

eCert, not MyInspections

Submission is through BCNSW eCert for all gasfitting work. MyInspections is for plumbing and drainage only, so it is no longer used for gas certificates. Triplicate books have not been valid since September 2020.

For non-network jobs, keep a copy of the certificate of inspection for 5 years.

Gas job record you can copy

This is our suggested record, not a NSW form. It tracks the paperwork only, and technical testing steps come from your licence training and the current standards.

Common questions

How to get a gas compliance certificate?

In NSW the gasfitter who did the work submits a certificate of compliance for a network installation through BCNSW eCert within 5 business days. For a job off a network, the gasfitter gives the owner a certificate of inspection. Ask your gasfitter for your copy once the work is complete.[1]

Where can I get a gas certificate?

Gasfitters submit certificates of compliance and inspection on the BCNSW eCert portal. Emailed or posted PDFs are no longer accepted, and MyInspections is not used for gas.[1]
