Technical Regulations of the Customs Union “On Safety of Equipment Operating on Gaseous Fuel” (TR CU 016/2011)
On December 9, 2011 the Customs Union Committee adopted Technical Regulations “Safety of Equipment Operating on Gaseous Fuel” – TR CU 016/2011. The document came into force on February 15, 2013. EasyGOST EAC Service offers certification of products under this document with optimal efforts.
The gas used as fuel is a source of increased danger. The design of gas operating equipment shall eliminate any risk of ignition or explosion. This is especially important, because many devices – for example, gas stoves – are used by non-specialists who were not professionally trained in working with gaseous fuels. By certifying equipment according to TR CU 016/2011 regulations, you will confirm its safety, get access to the EAEU market and exclude claims of inspection authorities.
