Introduction to Mobile Food Facility Certification
Operating a food truck comes with unique responsibilities, especially when it comes to safely managing propane gas as an energy source. In the state of Nevada, propane certification isn’t just a formality – it’s a legal requirement. Food truck inspection & food truck certification services protect both food truck operators and their customers.
Granite Propane is proud to be the only licensed certifier in Lyon County, providing essential services to mobile food facilities across Northern Nevada. You can review our qualifications from the Nevada Board for the Regulation of Liquefied Petroleum Gas to certify food truck safety.
Whether you’re just starting out with a new food truck or need to ensure your current setup meets all safety standards, our team is here to help you navigate the certification process with confidence.
Why Certification is Essential for Food Trucks
Certification is more than just a box to check—it’s a critical step in ensuring your food truck operates safely and legally. Nevada regulations require that all food trucks using propane gas for cooking or heating be inspected and certified for safety.
Failing to comply can result in fines, shutdowns, or worse, serious safety incidents. By getting your food truck certified with Granite Propane, you’re not only adhering to the law but also protecting your business, your staff, and your customers.
A certified propane system ensures that your equipment is functioning properly, reducing the risk of gas leaks, fire hazards, and other potential dangers that can arise in a mobile food environment. You can learn more about food truck inspections using this official guidebook.
How the Food Truck Certification Process Works
Getting certified with Granite Propane is a straightforward process, designed to get you back on the road and serving your customers as quickly as possible. Our certification process begins with a comprehensive inspection of your propane system, including tanks, connections, and all gas-powered appliances.
We check for leaks, ensure that all components are up to code, and verify that your system is operating efficiently and safely. We use this Mobile Food Facility Gas Check System Form provided by the Nevada LP-Gas Board to inspect your food truck and the appliances within.
Once the inspection is complete, we’ll provide any necessary repairs or adjustments and issue your official certification. Our team is also available to walk you through the certification requirements, making sure you understand every step of the process.
Services Offered for New and Existing Food Trucks
Whether you’re a new food truck owner looking to get certified for the first time or a seasoned operator needing recertification, Granite Propane offers a range of services tailored to your needs.
For new operators, we provide initial certification that ensures your propane system meets all state regulations before you hit the road. For existing food trucks, we offer recertification services that keep your operation compliant and safe year after year.
Additionally, we provide maintenance services, such as tank inspections, leak testing, and component replacements, to help keep your equipment in top shape. Our mobile food truck inspection services are designed with customer convenience in mind.
What Your Food Facility Check WILL NOT Cover
Your Mobile Food Facility Gas System Check is NOT intended to cover latent or manufacturing defects or the internal working of sealed equipment or structural components. It also does not cover future or unforeseen happenings. Mobile Food Facility Gas System Check is NOT intended to establish an industry custom, practice, or standard.
These inspections are not intended to replace, alter, or amend any state or local codes, standards, or regulations applicable to Mobile Food Facility gas systems and propane appliances. Mobile Food Facility Gas System Checks are NOT intended to replace, alter, or amend any particular licensee’s internal policies and procedures.
While the Mobile Food Facility Gas System Check includes a leak check, it is not limited to that check. Those performing a Mobile Food Facility Gas System Check inspection should be familiar with the inspection form and should know the scope of the inspection before it is performed.
