NZS 5266(Int):2011
Safety of gas appliances
This Interim Standard sets out the essential safety requirements for all gas appliances in New Zealand that are not subject to a recognised certification regime. It covers small production gas appliances, specialised gas appliances, and appliances for which a recognised certification scheme does not exist. The objective is to provide manufacturers, designers, regulatory authorities, testing laboratories, and similar organisations with a set of safety and performance outcome-oriented criteria which may be used as the basis for approval of gas appliances for sale in New Zealand. Note: NZS/AS 3645 is applicable to appliances produced in volume. Although the two Standards may differ slightly in wording, the technical requirements for safety are essentially the same.
