Frequently asked questions about CP16

How is a CP16 different from a domestic gas tightness test?
Non-domestic installations typically have larger pipe volumes and higher operating pressures. The CP16 follows IGEM/UP/1 procedures which require longer stabilisation periods and different pressure thresholds compared to domestic testing.
When is a CP16 required?
A CP16 is required after any new non-domestic gas pipework installation, after significant alterations or extensions to existing commercial pipework, or when recommissioning a system that has been disconnected.
