CP12

[bigbrian7363]

hi can someone please tell me what the serial number in the top left of a cp12 refers to !!!

It is the serial number of the printed pad of forms.

No other relevance except where a firm might log them with those numbers. Most I expect just file them under the date though.

Move don't even havea number.

 

[bigbrian7363]

Are the serial numbers of the pad registered to the person or company who has purchased the specific pad ??

 

[Agile]

As I said they are not registered to anyone!

They are provided by the printers in case the engineer wants to use them.

I doubt many do!

So can I say ! Use a cp12 from another gas engineer and fill it in as long as my gas safe number and information is correct ?? I thought the cp12 pad would be registered to a specific person or company !! So gas safe could refer to if an incident occurred ?

Why hasn't this been asked on gas fitters forum seems iffy hhhhhmmmmmm

Simple question ! Nothing iffy about it always wondered why the serial number was there ? Been a plumber , heating engineer for 38 years ! Also I do know you can't obtain a cp12 pad without your gas safe ID ?? So!!

If only mate , unfortunately anyone can walk into a plumbers merchants and buy a whole pad of CP12s for about £8 or can order them from ebay, the serial number has no significance except to the owner of the pad

Never been asked for my id when buying a pad. Or any other gas related stuff.

News to me. I've never had to show my ID when buying a pad

 

[bigbrian7363]

Try and buy a cp12 from say corgi or plumbcentre and you must show your ID !! What's to stop the cowboys who don't have up to date certification buying these and falsifying the information !!!! The point I'm trying to make .
