17C Gas appliance work—testing
This section applies when a gas appliance worker completes work on a gas appliance.
The gas appliance worker must—
for a type A gas appliance—inspect and test the appliance in accordance with the relevant standard; and
Note Relevant standard—see the Act, s 6H.
for a type B gas appliance—inspect and test the appliance in accordance with AS/NZS 3814, as in force from time to time.
Note AS/NZS 3814—see the Act, dictionary.
A gas appliance worker must keep, for at least 5 years, a record of gas appliance work done by the worker including a record of—
the gas appliance that work was carried out on; and
the premises where the appliance is located; and
when the work was completed.
A gas appliance worker who keeps a record under subsection (3) must not, without reasonable excuse, fail to produce the record if asked to do so by an inspector.
The Legislation Act, section 47 (6) does not apply to AS/NZS 3814.
Note AS/NZS 3814 does not need to be notified under the Legislation Act because s 47 (6) does not apply (see Legislation Act, s 47 (7)). The standard may be purchased at www.standards.org.au.
