On July 16, 2021, the decision of the board of directors of the Eurasian Economic Commission No. 86 of July 13, 2021 was published. The updated lists of the standards according to TR CU 016/2011 "On the safety of appliances burning gaseous fuels" were approved. The document comes into force six months after the date of its official publication. The Technical Regulation set minimum requirements for the safety of products during the EAC Certification, EAC Declaration or state registration.
The structure of the lists has not changed: For the sake of simplicity, the document is still divided into sections and groups according to device type. There are 3 sections in total:
- Gas-powered devices for cooking, heating and water heating
- Automatic block burners
- Devices intended to be built into equipment
The largest section in both lists is Section I, which includes 11 groups of equipment:
- Gas heating devices for the household (heating and combination devices with water circuit, convectors, chimneys, air heaters, air conditioning systems with built-in gas air heaters)
- Gas-powered household appliances for cooking and heating (stoves, hot plates, ovens, grills, electric stoves with at least one gas burner)
- Gas water heater
- Gas hot water storage tank
- Portable and tourist gas stoves and cookers, gas lamps for household use
- Gas-powered infrared burners and gas burners for household appliances, gas-powered incubators for poultry houses
- Gas boilers, including boilers with block fan burners
- Gas heaters for gastronomy and large kitchens (stationary food kettles, kitchen stoves, cooking and roasting devices, tilting pans, braziers, deep fryers, devices for cooking and heating liquids, thermal trolleys for first and second courses)
- Industrial gas burners for special purposes (infrared heaters)
- Closed gas heaters
- Industrial gas air heaters, including air heaters with block fan burners, air conditioners with built-in gas air heaters, gas heat generators for cattle sheds
The updated list of safety requirements includes 125 standards (previously it was 96) and the list of test methods includes 122 standards (previously it was 94). Some standards have expiration dates. This applies, for example, to GOST 20219-74 heating devices for domestic use with the tube bundle. Specifications", which can only be used until December 1, 2022. The new list contains the updated version of the standard: GOST 20219-93. Conversely, other standards have a start date: for example GOST EN 625-2013" Gas-fired boilers for central heating. Additional requirements for the tube bundle of the hot water supply of combination boilers with a nominal thermal output of not more than 70 kW "will be used from April 1, 2022.
