        It comes with compliance

        * edit. I'm wrong, it doesn't... I'm not sure it's type B, as it would be less than 10Mj/hr, however, in any case, it's still gas, and would still require an inspection and certificate. domestic or commercial. It's different in each state....

        they make an elec model too, which I suppose doesn't need such compliance

          Not really an issue for domestic use... The standards it's already cert'd to are good enough for me...

            It will most definitely still need electrical compliance... especially if you don't want your insurance to be voided.

              This comes from curiosity (not as a challenge) but I can't find anything in AAMI's (as an example) general exclusions, unless operating a noncompliant elec/gas appliance is unlawful?

                Sure...until you burn something down, blow something up or self-administer a dose of 240. Sorry, but if people read this and believe it, they place themselves at risk- and not just of an insurance claim knock back. Silly statement.

                  As someone who has worked in insurance for over 15 years in claims, underwriting and risk management I can say with some confidence that this is just untrue. If you're unsure read your PDS or give your insurer a call.

                    Yeah, because Australian standards are the be-all-and-end-all...

                    In honesty I haven't taken the time to check the standards it DOES comply to besides underwriters labs, but if I wanted to purchase one I would determine whether they were reasonably equivalent to australian standards.

                    Just like SNELL's good enough for me when it comes to MC helmets.

                      I think what you're looking for is AS/NZS3820 and YES.... these are LEGALLY MANDATED standards which are then enforced by each state or territory

                        Yup... here in Australia they certainly are the be-all-and-end-all and you really ain't got no choice in the matter

                          For sale, use in a workplace or use in a home?

                          The reason I ask is that I can wire up a dodgy plug myself and it's illegal to sell, illegal to use in a workplace but completely legal for me to have an use (and doesn't void my home and contents insurance, if I read it correctly).

                          Is gas safety enforced differently?

                          Tell that to the thousands of private-import motorcycle helmets in use... No-one has ever been able to point to a case where insurance has failed to pay out on a crash involving a non-AS-stickered but BSI/SNELL certified helmet, IME.

                            For use anywhere in Australia and by anyone and, as far as I know... it is NOT legal (or insurable) for you to wire up a "dodgy plug" for yourself.

                              Ok, so let's say I did (in a parallel universe where I'm not an electrician).

                              What would I be charged with for wiring up my dodgy plug or using it?
