NZS 5262:2003
Gas appliance safety
Sets out the essential safety requirements for all gas appliances intended for installation or use in New Zealand. It is not a design code and therefore it does not address matters of performance, appearance or durability except where they are relevant to safety. It covers all gas appliances and components supplied with them, that use, or are designed to use, gas, whether or not they also use, or are designed to use, any other form of energy.
