PARTSGenuine parts should always be used when repairing gas and electrical appliances.
All equipment is approved by the Statutory Authorities with the original parts used at the time of the approval. For equipment to stay within the Standards, the parts used must be approved by the manufacturers and the Australian Standards. Energy Safe Victoria has advised that gas appliances should always be repaired with genuine components. The only way to ensure they are fit to purpose is to use manufacturer supplied parts. |

A certified gas component has undergone a rigorous process of type testing and certification that provides confidence that under the declared operational conditions the component design will operate reliably and safely over the life of the component.
To maintain certification, the product undergoes regular audits by the certification body to confirm the current manufactured product is unchanged from the design that was tested and certified.
The use of non-genuine parts to repair or service gas components can undermine all of the above testing and certification and can invalidate the certification of the component.

National Certification Mark
ESV has notified that it is anticipated that the GTRC (Gas Technical Regulators Committee) will introduce a national certification mark that must be displayed on all certified appliances.
It must be pointed out that certification markings are not typically displayed on certified components due to size constraints. Another way of checking that a gas component is certified is to check the certification databases of the respective certifying bodies.
