Type B Gas Appliance Design

What is Type B compliance?

Type B appliances are commonly found in industrial sites. These appliances are defined in AS/NZS 5601.1 as an appliance with gas consumption exceeding 10 MJ/hour, for which a certification scheme doesn’t exist.

Examples of Type B gas appliances

Industrial boilers

Incinerators

Gas-fired turbines

Engine powered appliances used in power generation

Certification may differ from state to state

To operate a Type B appliance legally in all states and territories of Australia, the appliance must be certified. However, these requirements may differ from state to state.
