The Safe Appliance Scheme
The LP Gas Safety Association has been recognised by the Department of Labour as the Verifying Authority of gas appliances tested for conformance with the SANS 1539 specification. In addition, the LPGSASA is mandated to undertake a similar process for hoses manufactured to SANS 1156-2 and LP Gas regulators to SANS 1237.
It is mandatory for appliances, hoses and regulators falling within the scope of these South African national standards to be tested for compliance and for the manufacturers/ importers of such products to obtain a Verification Permit from the LPGSASA. Failure to do so may lead to prosecution.
Natural Gas Appliances Testing and Safe Appliance Permits
