The general technical regulation about safety of the devices using gaseous fuel

Chapter 1. General provisions

§ 1. Purposes and scope

1. This General technical regulation (further - the Technical regulation) establishes requirements to safety of the devices using gaseous fuel (further - the gas-using equipment), for the purpose of:

protection of life and health of the person, environmental protection, property of legal, physical persons and state;

preventions of the actions misleading consumers concerning its appointment and safety.

2. The technical regulation extends to the gas-using equipment intended for cooking, heating and hot water supply and also its components according to the list given in appendix to the Technical regulation.

3. The technical regulation does not extend to the gas-using equipment:

using gas as motor fuel;

delivered according to the state defensive order;

held for use in engineering procedures on industrial enterprises, except for specified in appendix to the Technical regulation.

4. The gas-using equipment is released in the territory of the Republic of Uzbekistan in case of its compliance to the Technical regulation.

5. If concerning separate types of the gas-using equipment other technical regulations are accepted, then this gas-using equipment shall conform to requirements of all technical regulations which action extends to it.

§ 2. Terms and determinations

6. In the Technical regulation the following terms and determinations are used:

ventilation of the combustion chamber - process of replacement by air of the not burned down gas which is in the combustion chamber of the gas-using equipment and in flues in the absence of supply of gas in torch;

time of ignition of torch - time interval from the moment of supply of gas of torch before ignition and distribution of flame on all surface of the gas burner device;

gaseous fuel - the fuel which is in gaseous state at temperature of 15 °C and atmospheric pressure of 101,325 of kPa;

torch with complete preliminary mixture - torch in which gas mixes up with air for burning before exhaust outlets of torch or in which ready gas mixture moves;

ignition - process in case of which there is ignition of air-gas mix of ignition and (or) main torch with registration of availability of flame;

the combined torch - the torch intended for separate burning of gaseous or liquid types of fuel;

repeated ignition - ignition in case of which the design of the gas-using equipment provides that after blackout of flame in operating time of the gas-using equipment supply of gas in torch stops and begins accomplishment of the set program of automatic start-up of torch;

starting capacity - average capacity of the gas-using equipment during time interval from the moment of supply of gas of torch before registration of availability of flame;

the safety control - the device providing automatic shutdown of supply of gas in the main torch in case of variation of controlled parameters out of admissible limits and intended for embedding in the gas-using equipment;

control units and regulations - the technical means providing manual or automatic observance of necessary parameter values of engineering procedure and intended for embedding in the gas-using equipment;

operational documentation - documentation which separately or in total with other documents determines service regulations of the gas-using equipment and/or reflects the data certifying the values of key parameters and characteristics guaranteed by the manufacturer for the purpose of their safe application, and also guarantee and the data on operation of the gas-using equipment during fixed term of service.

Chapter 2. Safety requirements

§ 1. General requirements

7. The technical regulation establishes minimum necessary requirements to the gas-using equipment which accomplishment provides:

fire and explosion safety;

electric safety;

mechanical and thermal safety;

ecological safety.

8. The owner of the gas-using equipment provides in accordance with the established procedure installation, commissioning and regime and adjustment works, operation, maintenance of the gas-using equipment according to operational documentation.

9. The gas-using equipment (its components) shall meet the requirements of the Technical regulation during all service life, on condition of application to destination and fulfillment of requirements of operational documentation.

§ 2. Requirements of fire and explosion safety

10. The gas-using equipment shall exclude danger of its explosion from ignition sources.
