For how many years must LP-gas licensees retain records of pressure tests and leakage tests?

LP-gas licensees are required to retain records of pressure tests and leakage tests for a duration of five years. This retention period is established to ensure that there is a traceable history of compliance with safety regulations and industry standards. Proper documentation of these tests helps in verifying that the installation and maintenance of LP-gas systems are carried out in accordance with established safety protocols, thereby protecting both consumers and the environment.

The five-year retention period allows regulatory authorities to review records if necessary, ensuring that any safety concerns or compliance issues can be addressed in a timely manner. This practice not only enhances safety but also promotes accountability among licensees. By keeping these records for an extended period, licensees provide assurance to both regulators and the public that they are maintaining safe operational standards.
