Gas Safety Program Update

Joanne HurstGas Safety, Scheme / Program Update

New gas certification scheme rules have been published by the GTRC, click here.

High Risk gas appliances and components will require ongoing laboratory testing every two years. This is a major transformation, not previously experienced in our industry. As many would know; laboratory testing is time consuming, therefore, careful planning is highly recommended. At Global-Mark we will continue help our customers utilise national and international laboratories to test for Australian Standards (including high risk safety critical testing) please contact to find out more.
