Importing 1kg Roaster from China

[ax72]

Believe it or not I'm not trying to score points here; I gave up arguing for the sake of it a couple years back.

I'm also not certain that I'm right because I know sod-all about gas safety legislation and I want the correct information out there for myself and others. That's all.

If a device is compliant to EU standards, are you unconvinced that is is safe?

In the absence of compliance with an Australian standard I would be more than satisfied with compliance with an EU standard - EU standards are typically far ahead of Australian standards in most fields; in Australia it can take 20+ years for standards to catch up in some respects.

If you've seen some of the EU gas trains I have seen, I think you'd change your mind. I'll defer (in my instance) to Energy safe Victoria. You will find that your insurance company will do the same- regardless of how satisfied you were/are.

I know we dont except EU Intrinsically Safe ratings in the hazardous site I work at! It must come with Australian certification... Amazing as I know Shell in Geelong except EU and the business I work for wont!

Hi Beenbag,

There are many smaller home roasters you can buy which may not be 1kg roasters but are great little roaster for there price, the Behmor is a perfect example which Andy sells here.

Can I get the link? I can't seem to find the page.

I think people in Australia often confuse EU standards with what's adhered to in UK, Germany, Sweden, etc. Certainly in those countries standards will generally be high. But in the southern and Eastern States, adhering to EU standards is sometimes seen a little like the Melbourne team ticket lottery - skip your fare enough times and the saving will exceed the fine when you're eventually caught.

And no I'm not saying all eastern manufacturers are dodgy, just that attitudes to standards are very different there to here.

I think this will be my next roaster if I decide to upgrade my Behmor.
