Facilities Compliance Software - Every Statutory Inspection in One Dashboard.

A lapsed gas safety certificate voids your insurance. A missed lift inspection triggers a prohibition notice. ExpiryEdge tracks every fire, lift, gas, EICR, legionella, asbestos, and HVAC inspection across every building - with 90-day lead alerts so contractors get booked before each certificate expires.

What makes the difference

Three things facilities compliance needs that a CMMS doesn\'t deliver.

Reminders with enough lead time to book engineers

Gas Safe engineers, lift inspectors, and certified electrical contractors book weeks ahead. ExpiryEdge fires the first reminder 90 days before each certificate expires - when the calendar is still open.

Multi-site, multi-statutory by default

A 12-building portfolio has 12 gas safety cycles, 12 EICR cycles, 12 fire alarm tests, and 12 legionella plans - plus per-building asbestos registers and PAT testing schedules. ExpiryEdge tracks each cycle per building and rolls up per portfolio.

Certificates retrievable in under 60 seconds

Insurers, lenders, prospective tenants, and inspectors want the current evidence on request. Every certificate stored against its inspection record - no email digs, no paper-file searches.

What you get

Six modules covering the facilities-compliance stack.

Gas safety + fire safety inspection tracking

CP12 (UK) or state gas inspection (US), fire alarm testing on NFPA 72 cycles, fire extinguisher servicing on NFPA 10, sprinkler system tests, emergency lighting cycle. Each with its own due date, owner, and certificate vault.

Electrical (EICR / NETA) + PAT testing

EICR every 5 years for most rental property; NETA inspection cycles for U.S. commercial; PAT / portable appliance inspection for the UK; annual electrical safety audits. Track by location, by panel, by appliance class.

Lifts (LOLER / ASME A17.1)

UK LOLER 6-monthly inspection; U.S. ASME A17.1 state-regulated cycles; thorough examination certificates; load test history per lift. Operator-qualified records cross-referenced.

Legionella, asbestos, and water hygiene

Legionella risk assessment (ACOP L8) two-yearly cycle with 5-year retention; monthly water-temperature monitoring; asbestos management plan reviews and re-survey schedules; CAR 2012 / OSHA 1910.1001 compliance records.

HVAC, boiler, and TM44 air conditioning

Boiler servicing schedules; TM44 air-conditioning inspections (5-year cycle, UK); refrigerant gas registers (F-gas / R-22); HVAC PPM intervals and filter-change records.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

It varies by jurisdiction, but a typical stack across commercial property: annual gas safety inspection (CP12 in the UK; equivalent state requirements in the U.S.), EICR every 5 years (more frequent for high-use commercial), lift / elevator inspection every 6 months (LOLER UK; ASME A17.1 U.S.), fire alarm and extinguisher servicing on NFPA cycles, two-yearly legionella risk assessment (ACOP L8), and asbestos management plan reviews where pre-2000 building materials are present. ExpiryEdge ships with templates for each category.

FMX, Limble, and UpKeep are CMMS platforms - they focus on PPM work orders, asset maintenance, and inventory. Compliance is a secondary feature. Planon is an enterprise IWMS suite with deep facility-management capability but enterprise pricing. ExpiryEdge focuses on the deadline / certificate / inspection layer specifically - what is expiring, when the renewal window is, what evidence is on file. Most customers run ExpiryEdge alongside a CMMS for work-order management, or replace a heavier IWMS with it when compliance is the primary pain.

A lapsed gas safety certificate typically voids property insurance because most policies require a valid certificate to be in force. For landlords, failure to provide a current CP12 to tenants is a criminal offence with personal director liability in the UK. A lapsed EICR commonly results in insurers declining to renew until a valid report is produced - meaning the building can be operating effectively uninsured during the gap.

Set the first ExpiryEdge alert to 90 days before expiry. Gas Safe engineers, certified electrical contractors, lift inspectors, and legionella consultants are often booked weeks in advance - particularly in spring (insurance renewal season) and autumn (heating-system turn-on). The 90-day alert gives time to secure a slot, complete the inspection, and have the new certificate uploaded with weeks of buffer.

Yes. Each property is a node with its own inspection records, certificates, and status view. The aggregated dashboard shows the entire portfolio with filters by property, inspection type, owner, or due date. For multi-site operators (10+ buildings) this is where ExpiryEdge displaces both spreadsheets and the heavier FM platforms.

Yes. The platform is jurisdiction-aware: PPM, LOLER, CP12, EICR, ACOP L8 for the UK; NFPA, ASME A17.1, OSHA 1910, state Certificate of Occupancy cycles for the U.S. - plus Australian, Canadian, and EU equivalents where applicable. Templates can be customised per region.

Energy efficiency (TM44 / mech-vent inspections), water management (legionella records), waste handling (hazardous-material disposal), and asbestos management are increasingly fed into ESG, SFDR, and CSRD reports. Tracking them once in ExpiryEdge and exporting against multiple frameworks removes a major duplication of effort.

Every facilities vendor (cleaners, HVAC, lift maintenance, fire-safety, security) has its own COI. ExpiryEdge tracks vendor COIs alongside the property inspections, with the same renewal cadence and evidence vault. When a vendor is on-site, the GC or property manager can verify current insurance in seconds.

Every inspection scheduled. Every certificate on file. Every site ready for audit.

How this guide was built

This guide is built from work with facilities managers across commercial real estate, multi-family residential, healthcare and education portfolios. It references NFPA life-safety code cycles, local fire-marshal inspection patterns, IFMA best practices and the recurring inspection cadences we observe across ExpiryEdge customer accounts. We refresh the page whenever the underlying codes or industry standards change.
