Gas appliances directive (GAD 2009/142/EC)
Who is the directive for?
This Directive is for manufacturers of Gas Appliances who are wishing to sell their products in the European Union. Once a manufacturer meets the requirements of the Directive they will be able to apply CE marking to their products.
What products do we test?
Appliances that burn gas (of any type) from small household products up to larger commercial appliances for the purposes of:
- Space heating
- Cooking
- Water heating
- Refrigeration
- Lighting
- Washing
We also test the supply of forced draught gas burners along with safety and control devices that are intended to be used within gas appliances.
The Directive excludes gas appliances that are used as part of an industrial process on industrial premises, (the Machinery Directive may apply here), and gas appliances that have a normal water temperature exceeding 105°C ( the Pressure Equipment Directive may apply here).
