Compliance inspection for butane/propane (LPG) installations ≤ 70 kW. For houses, holiday homes and properties fed by tank or gas cylinders. Official certificate issued on site.
The inspection of a butane or propane installation checks the compliance of the entire indoor network: pipework, connections, combustion appliances and ventilation systems, according to standard NBN D 51-006.
It applies to individual houses, apartments, mobile homes or commercial premises supplied with gas cylinders or a propane tank.
Fixed pipework after the regulator
Flexible and rigid connections
Regulator and pressure regulator
Combustion appliances (boiler, cooker, water heater)
Low and high ventilation of rooms
Evacuation of combustion products
Shut-off valves and safety devices
Installations using liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) are subject to the same regulatory requirements as natural gas, with specific features related to storage and ventilation.
Every new butane or propane installation must be inspected before first commissioning. The installer must use an accredited body.
When changing gas supplier or installing a new tank, a compliance inspection may be required.
Adding or replacing an appliance, modifying pipework or changing gas type requires a new inspection.
For a property transaction or rental, a recent gas compliance certificate may be requested by the buyer or tenant.
Our inspection covers the indoor installation only: pipework after the regulator, combustion appliances and ventilation. The propane/butane tank is not included – it is inspected by your gas supplier as part of your contract.
The inspector checks elements specific to butane and propane installations, in addition to the standard checks applicable to any gas installation.

Everything you need to know about LPG installation inspection.
What is the difference between butane and propane?
Butane (boiling point 0°C) is used for indoor cylinders and portable appliances. Propane (boiling point -42°C) is stored in an outdoor tank and remains gaseous even in cold weather. Both are inspected according to the same standard NBN D 51-006.
Does the inspection include the tank?
No, our inspection covers only the indoor installation (after the regulator): pipework, connections, appliances and ventilation. The tank itself is covered by a maintenance contract with your gas supplier (Antargaz, Primagaz…) who carries out their own periodic inspections.
I use gas cylinders, do I need an inspection?
If your installation is fixed (pipework, permanent connections, fixed appliances such as a boiler or built-in cooker), an inspection is recommended. For a simple direct connection of a cylinder to a portable appliance, the inspection is generally not mandatory.
My tank is buried, who inspects it?
The tank (above-ground or buried) is inspected by your gas supplier as part of your contract. Our inspection covers only the visible part of the indoor installation: regulator, pipework after the cabinet, ventilation and combustion appliances.
Can I switch from propane to natural gas?
Yes, if your street is connected to the natural gas grid. Note: your appliances must be adapted (nozzle replacement, pressure adjustment). An inspection of the modified installation is required for commissioning natural gas.
How long does an LPG inspection take?
Allow approximately 45 minutes to 1 hour for a standard installation. The time may vary depending on the number of appliances, the complexity of the installation and the accessibility of the elements to be checked.
