If you’ve invested in a gas appliance to suit a specific need—like a gas-powered pie warmer or a gas powered pizza oven—you’ll likely need a gas appliance certification before it can legally be used in Australia.
At Gas Services QLD, we regularly assist commercial kitchen owners, café operators, and mobile food vendors across Queensland with the certification process. Here’s what’s involved and why it’s so important.
Why Is Gas Appliance Certification Needed?
Most imported gas appliances are not automatically certified for use in Australia, even if they work perfectly overseas. Local gas safety regulations—like those set by the Australian Gas Association (AGA) and Queensland’s gas legislation—require that any non-certified appliance undergo assessment by a Type A and/or Type B gas certifier before being connected to a gas supply.
This applies especially to:
-
-
Imported specialty appliances
-
Commercial kitchen equipment
-
Custom appliances for mobile food vans
-
Second-hand commercial gas equipment
-
Common Examples of Appliances That Need Certification
-
-
Gas-powered pie warmers
-
Custom wok burners
-
European commercial coffee roasters
-
Mobile deep fryers in food trucks
-
Gas ovens or combi ovens sourced overseas
-
These are all considered Type B appliances, and they must be certified for safety and compliance before installation or use.
What’s Involved in the Certification Process?
Here’s what to expect when you engage Gas Services QLD for gas appliance certification:
🔍 1. Initial Appliance Assessment
We begin with a thorough inspection of the appliance. We check build quality, materials, gas fittings, labelling, and safety features.
🧪 2. Testing & Modifications
The appliance is tested for gas pressure, performance, and safety shut-offs. If it doesn’t meet Australian standards, we’ll advise what modifications or adjustments are required—such as changing regulators, jets, or flueing.
✅ 3. Issuing the Certification
Once approved, you’ll receive a Gas Appliance Approval Certificate (commonly referred to as a Type B certification), confirming the appliance is safe and compliant with QLD regulations.
Why It Matters
Certification isn’t just a formality—it’s a legal requirement for commercial gas appliances that protects your:
-
-
Staff and customers’ safety
-
Business insurance coverage
-
Compliance with health and safety inspections
-
Equipment investment and functionality
-
Operating without certification could lead to fines, shutdowns, or voided insurance.
