The joint Australian/New Zealand standards AS/NZS 5601.1 and AS/NZS 5601.2 were revised by the joint committee AG-006 and published on 16 September 2013. AS/NZS 5601.1:2013 Gas installations – Part 1 General installations and AS/NZS 5601.2:2013 Gas installations – Part 2: LP Gas installations in caravans and boats for non-propulsive purposes replace the 2010 documents. However, the 2010 standards continue to be the ones referenced in the Gas (Safety and Measurement) Regulations 2010 until the Regulations are amended, which is likely to be in 2014. The 2010 standards will not be withdrawn until the Regulations are amended. Parts 1 and 2 of AS 5601:2013 provide essential requirements and deemed-to-comply solutions, and to promote uniform standards of gas installation. Part 2 provides a stand-alone standard for LP Gas installations in caravans and boats for non-propulsive purposes.

Changes introduced by Parts 1 and 2 of AS/NZS 5601:2013 Part 1 AS/NZS 5601.1:2013 includes the mandatory requirements and means of compliance for the design, installation, and commissioning of gas installations associated with the use or intended use of fuel gases such as natural gas, LP Gas, or biogas. For New Zealand, these requirements cover gas installations downstream of the point of supply (as defined in the Gas (Safety and Measurement) Regulations 2010). The standard does not apply to: • portable or mobile gas appliances (such as barbecues or patio heaters) that are connected directly, or by hose assembly, to an LP Gas cylinder • automotive CNG compressors and refuelling stations • installations in vehicles for automotive use • caravans and boats (covered in AS/NZS 5601.2).

AS/NZS 5601.2:2013 Gas Installations. Installations The Standard now explicitly requires practitioners to carry out testing of both the pipework and gas. You will be required to comply with this standard if you intend to undertake gas fitting or installation work to commercial catering equipment.

New Zealand legislative changes in 1992 removed the responsibility for inspection and certification of gas installations from the gas suppliers and introduced a regime of gas certification by a person authorised under the Plumbers, Gasfitters, and Drainlayers Act 2006. It is intended that only the performance requirements of section 2 (performance-based design and other essential requirements) will be mandatory in New Zealand. Crack Runaway A Road Adventure Version Fracais there. Section 2 covers the various aspects of a gas installation that contribute to its safety.

It includes performance criteria for compliance with legislative requirements for the safety of gas installations. Sections 3 to 6 provide more detailed information as a means of compliance with the performance criteria.

The means of compliance in sections 3 to 6 are not the only means of compliance with the performance criteria of section 2.
