When it's required
A CD/12 is completed when a landlord arranges an annual oil safety check for a rented property with oil-fired heating. It provides the landlord with documented proof that the oil installation and appliance have been checked for safety.
The completed check should be given to the landlord or managing agent and kept with the property's records. Carrying it out each year helps landlords demonstrate they are meeting their responsibilities for tenant safety.
