Technical Regulations of the Customs Union “On Safety of Equipment Operating on Gaseous Fuel” (TR CU 016/2011)
On 9 December 2011, the Commission of the Customs Union adopted the Technical Regulations of the Customs Union “On the Safety of Gaseous Fuel Appliances”; (TR 016/2011). This came into force on 25 February 2013. The company EasyGOST EAC Service takes over all certifications of products according to these regulations.
Gas used as fuel poses a major hazard. The design of gas appliances should avoid the risk of ignition and explosion. This is particularly relevant as many non-specialists use equipment such as gas stoves, which do not have the appropriate specialist training for working with gaseous fuels.
The safety of the use of these devices is guaranteed by a certification according to the requirements of TR CU 016/2011. This avoids potential problems with monitoring points and gives the equipment access to the EAWU market.
