Ensuring the safety of all gas installations is one of a landlord's most critical responsibilities. In the Netherlands, where the vast majority of homes are heated by natural gas, this duty is taken very seriously. The primary focus of gas safety is on the CV-ketel (central heating boiler) and any older gas-powered water heaters (geisers). A poorly maintained gas appliance poses a significant risk of fire, explosion, and, most insidiously, carbon monoxide poisoning. The law places the responsibility for professional, periodic maintenance squarely on the shoulders of the property owner.
Unlike in some countries, there is no single, mandatory 'Gas Safety Certificate' that a landlord must provide to a tenant annually. However, the underlying obligation is clear. Dutch law, through the Building Decree (Bouwbesluit), requires that gas installations be safe and function correctly. For a CV-ketel, this is universally understood to require a full service and safety inspection by a certified technician (gecertificeerde monteur) at least once every two years. This maintenance includes:
While the landlord is responsible for the professional maintenance, the tenant plays a role in day-to-day safety. The tenant must grant access to the property for the scheduled maintenance to be carried out. They should also ensure that any carbon monoxide detectors in the home are functioning correctly. If a tenant ever suspects a gas leak (e.g., the smell of gas), they must immediately open windows, avoid using any electrical switches, and call the national gas emergency number (0800-9009) and their landlord.
