The fuller version
There is no single statutory 'plumbing certificate' for rented homes; landlords must keep water supply, sanitation and heating in repair and assess Legionella risk (HSE guidance, ACOP L8).
Smoke alarm and carbon monoxide alarm rules (amended 2022) require a CO alarm in rooms with a fixed combustion appliance (excluding gas cookers).
Rules differ in England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland, and they do change. This is a friendly summary, not legal advice. Double-check on GOV.UK.
