The Gas Appliances Directive, relating to appliances burning gaseous fuels, came into force, subject to certain transitional provisions, on 1 January 1996. The CE marking is mandatory on virtually all gas-fired domestic and commercial appliances to be sold within Europe.
Under the Directive, this means any gas burning appliance having, where applicable, a normal water temperature not exceeding 105°C and used for:
-
Cooking
-
(Space) heating
-
Hot water production
-
Refrigeration
-
Lighting
-
Washing
Forced draught burners and heating bodies to be equipped with such burners are also considered as appliances. The Directive also includes all safety devices, controlling devices or regulating devices and sub-assemblies, separately marketed for trade use, designed to be incorporated into or assembled to constitute a gas burning appliance.
