For natural gas and LPG inspection bodies

Gas inspection software for residential and commercial installations

RETGAS digitizes periodic gas inspections end to end: the inspector fills in the form on their phone, even offline; the rules engine reviews the inspection before the report is generated, and the signed report reaches SICERCO and the distributor without re-keying.

What inspecting gas on paper and Excel really costs

The same problems inspection bodies across Colombia tell us about.

Reports sent back by the distributor

A typo, an appliance load that doesn't add up or a wrong ventilation calculation and the report comes back. Every rejection means another visit and another trip.

Typing up at night what was done by day

The inspector fills in a paper form and someone at the office keys it in. The report goes out days later, with transcription errors.

Evidence that doesn't survive an audit

Loose photos on WhatsApp, with no time or location, that nobody can tie to the inspection when the accreditation body or the distributor asks.

Manual SICERCO uploads

Re-typing into SICERCO every certificate that already exists in the report is double work and one more source of errors.

What the software captures during a gas inspection

The digital form is the one your inspection body already uses: we replicate it field by field and add validation.

Tightness test

Initial and final pressure gauge or meter readings with photos. The app reads the instrument with on-device AI and the inspector confirms the value before saving it.

Ventilation and enclosures

Volume of each enclosure against installed load, with the NTC 3631 ventilation calculation, including the rules for sites above 2,000 m.

Appliance census

Appliances, loads and their sum against the declared total, with reference tables for appliances, regulators and meters.

Piping, isometric and pressure loss

Pipe layout, isometric and floor sketch drawn in the app, plus pressure-loss calculation.

Photos with GPS and time

Every photo is tied to the inspection with location and timestamp. AI checks that each photo shows what it should: readable meter, valve, appliance.

Result and signature

Critical and non-critical defects, compliant or non-compliant result, customer signature and the inspection body's digital signature on the report.

Isometric of a gas installation drawn in RETGAS

Automatic validation before the report is generated

The AI rules engine reviews each inspection before the report leaves the field, with your body's rules and each distributor's. The inspector sees what to fix while still on site, not days later.

Result consistency: a compliant report cannot have defective items.
Load calculations: the sum of appliances matches the declared total.
Ventilation: enclosure volume-to-load ratio within what the standard requires.
Readings and meters: the meter serial matches between photos and form.
Timing: minimum visit duration and the time of each photo.

The engine flags and the person decides: nothing is fixed automatically and every change is traceable.

SICERCO and gas distributor integration

What sets RETGAS apart from a generic form: the report doesn't end as a PDF to forward, it ends in the system of whoever needs it.

SICERCO

Bulk certificate upload from the platform, no re-keying.

Llanogas and Cusianagas

Direct API integration, in production.

Metrogas

Structured JSON exchange, in production.

Another distributor

If it uses another format, we build it.

Built for Colombian gas regulations

Software doesn't certify on its own: compliance depends on the inspection body's management system. What it does is keep the evidence in order to prove it.

Mandatory periodic inspection

Gas installations must be inspected at least every five years (CREG Resolution 059 of 2012). RETGAS schedules and tracks those visits.

Technical regulation for internal installations

Inspection forms built on Resolution 90902 of 2013 and 41385 of 2017 of the Ministry of Mines and Energy.

NTC 2505 and NTC 3631

Requirements for residential and commercial installations and enclosure ventilation, validated in the form.

NTC-ISO/IEC 17020

Traceability for every inspection, role-based access, report voiding with a reason and the body's digital signature, for ONAC accreditation.

Gas inspection software FAQ

What is gas inspection software?

It's the tool an inspection body uses to fill in, validate and deliver gas installation inspections without paper. In RETGAS the inspector fills in the form on their phone, the platform reviews the inspection before generating the report and sends it to SICERCO and the distributor.

Does it work for natural gas and LPG periodic inspections?

Yes. RETGAS is used for periodic inspections, new installations and renovations of residential and commercial gas. The form is configured with the fields your body and each distributor require.

Does it work offline in the field?

Yes. The app works offline: the inspector fills in the form, takes photos and collects signatures without signal. Once back online everything syncs with no data loss.

Can I keep my current inspection form?

Yes. We replicate your form field by field and add the validations. You don't have to change your process or the report your distributor already knows.

How does it help with the tightness test?

The inspector photographs the pressure gauge or meter at the start and end of the test. The app proposes the reading with on-device AI and the inspector confirms it; both readings and their photos go into the report.

Does it integrate with SICERCO and my distributor?

Yes. We handle bulk SICERCO uploads and have integrations in production with Llanogas and Cusianagas (API) and Metrogas (JSON). If your distributor uses another format, we build it.

How much does it cost and how long is onboarding?

There are three plans (Basic, Pro and Enterprise) billed by monthly report volume, with no per-inspector fees. Typical onboarding takes one to two weeks and includes training.
