Gas safety testing represents a selective number of tests considering basic safety for equipment operating with gases. When not constructed carefully, they can be very dangerous for the end-users, and gases such as CO (carbon monoxide) need to be handled with special attention.
Devices powered by gas must be tested in accordance with the safety recommendations of the directives. These are crucial tests for all gas appliances to prove safety for the end-users. Some of these appliances are used in everyday life and include household appliances as well as outdoor cooking and caterer appliances.
Our Laboratory center provides testing services against:
- impermeability of gas connectors
- mechanical and heat firmness
- heating load (Qn – rated, Qmin – minimum value)
- quality of combustion
- rational energy usage
- and more…
Our Laboratory can test equipment that is adapted to butane gas (G30), pressure 30 mbar; propane gas (G31), pressure 37 mbar; and natural gas (G20), pressure 20 mbar. Our accredited tests include:
- Barbecues and multi-purpose boiling burners for outdoor use
- Independent hotplates – including those incorporated in the grills for outdoor use
- Domestic cooking appliances burning gas
- Gas appliances for catering equipment
