Gas Safety Act 2000

The Executive may make regulations for this Act.

The regulations may make provision in relation to—

the installation, operation, maintenance, commissioning, testing, inspection or repair of consumer piping systems, medical gas systems or gas appliances; and

the safety of people who own, or are likely to be near, a consumer piping system, a medical gas system or a gas appliance; and

the doing, inspecting and testing of gasfitting work or gas appliance work, including requirements for related notices; and

compliance indicators, including their attachment to gas appliances and their removal; and

certificates of compliance, including their provision and safekeeping; and

the approval of type A gas appliances and type B gas appliances including—

requirements in relation to applications for approval; and

requirements in relation to compliance with safety standards; and

conditions for the approval of appliances; and

the cancellation of approval of appliances; and

meters; and

consumer piping systems, medical gas systems and gas appliances to promote the efficient use or conservation of power and energy, or to limit harm to the environment; and

standards in relation to construction, installation, configuration, maintenance, repair, service, replacement, inspection, testing, labelling or disposal of consumer piping systems, medical gas systems and gas appliances (or parts of consumer piping systems, medical gas systems or gas appliances).

A regulation may apply, adopt or incorporate a law of another jurisdiction or an instrument, or a provision of a law of another jurisdiction or instrument, as in force at a particular time or from time to time.

The Legislation Act, section 47 (5) or (6) does not apply in relation to the law of another jurisdiction or an instrument applied, adopted or incorporated under a regulation.

Laws of another jurisdiction and instruments mentioned in s (2B) do not need to be notified under the Legislation Act because s 47 (5) and (6) do not apply (see Legislation Act, s 47 (7)).

The regulations may also prescribe offences for contraventions of the regulations and prescribe maximum penalties of not more than 60 penalty units for offences against the regulations.
