Mechanical Materials and Gas Appliances

Mechanical materials and gas appliances include engineering and building materials, tools and hardware, as well as cookers, cylinders, regulators and other equipment that uses or stores gas. Strength, durability and safe operation are essential for these products, as failures can cause serious harm. Under the PVoC program, products in this category subject to mandatory standards are assessed before shipment. CERTECH conducts a documentary review, inspects the goods at the supplier’s premises, and reviews test reports or arranges sample testing by a recognised laboratory where required. If results indicate non-conformity, corrective action may be considered before a decision is made on issuing a Certificate of Conformity (CoC) or a Non-Conformity Report (NCR).
