What are Type A Gas Devices?

Type A gas devices are natural gas or LP gas (typically massed produced) appliances, used in domestic and commercial areas. 

All Type A gas devices must be approved (certified) for supply, installation or use by the Chief Inspector, Petroleum and Gas, or by the holder of the Gas Device Approval Authority (GDDA). 

 

There are two authority scopes of Type A gas device approvals:

  1. Type test assessment and certification of produced or multiple applicances.
  2. Individual assessment and approval of eligible Type A gas devices.

How to get a Type A device gas approval

Nationally recognised

The appropriate process for mass-produced or multiple applicances s is through a type test certification scheme administered by a JAS-ANZ accredited Conformity Assessment Body. Note: Approvals granted through this process are nationally recognised throughout Australia and in New Zealand. View the directory of type A devices certified for national acceptance on the Gas Technical Regulators Committee (GTRC) website. For more information on assessment and certification requirements for national acceptance of mass produced or multiple appliances, manufacturers or importers should apply to 1 of the gas device approval authorities (type A GDAA) listed in Register 1 below.

Approvals specific to Queensland

In Queensland, there is a process for approving eligible type A gas devices through the Queensland individual type A gas device scheme. The process, administered by the holder of a gas device approval authority (type A2), has been developed to provide a cost effective alternative to the nationally recognised type test scheme while maintaining an acceptable level of safety.

 

Note: Approvals made under the Queensland individual type A gas device scheme have no legal standing in another state and territory, unless the scheme is recognised by the gas technical regulator of that jurisdiction.

More information on individual approvals of eligible type A gas devices is available through the:
