NZS AS 4558(Int):2013
Decorative gas log and other fuel effect appliances
Sets out the essential safety and compliance requirements for decorative gas log and other fuel effect appliances supplied to the New Zealand market. Adopted with national modifications from AS 4558-2011. Attention is drawn to the fact that this document was published in 2013 as an interim one. Standards New Zealand extends the invitation to comment on the document from persons and organisations concerned with this subject. The interim period of this standard is extended from 31 March 2014 to 31 March 2016. The reason for this extension is to cover the period during which a proposed joint Australian/New Zealand standard AS/NZS 5263 will be under development, and will eventually replace the Australian standard AS 4558 that this interim standard has adopted.
