Yes you do need to inform your insurance, you also need to change your V5 as its a fundamental change to your vehicle, even if the insurance do not ask for a certificate, they assume you have had it converted correctly and it complies with the correct standard or you have had it varified to comply with the standard, the only time you will come unstuck by not having one is when it is in an accident or it blows up, your insurance will then have a "get out of paying free card" and you will have no insurance, ouch, expensive, sorry seen it too many times
