Eze-Flow Plumbing do Marine Gas certificate of compliance for all types of watercrafts. We make sure all your gas appliances comply with AS/NZS 5601.2.2013
Confirm the LPG gas connections that need to be certified. This may include hot water systems, boat cooktops, ovens, boat pizza ovens, barbeque grills, as well as gas containers and gas regulators.
We then inspect all gas containers, gas regulators and gas appliances connected to the installation.
Testing of the whole installation for any signs of defect is undertaken.
If we do find any defects, we will notify you immediately and provide you with an upfront cost for repairs.
To operate any gas appliance on a marine vessel (including boats and yachts) in NSW you need a gas certificate of compliance and LPG data plate installed. Eze-Flow Plumbing are licensed to do this important job.
The reason for this requirement is to reduce the risk of a gas explosion on board your vessel. Unfortunately, some recent fires on boats in NSW harbours show the horrific damage caused, especially to people on board at the time. In the event of a gas leak, LPG gas will fall and accumulate at the lowest point of the vessel, as it is heavier than air. For this reason, we highly recommend having a gas detector fitted to reduce the risk of igniting a gas explosion by simply turning on a gas appliance.
Don’t risk a fire on your boat or yacht, get your gas system certified by a licensed gas plumber.

All marine vessels in NSW that have gas appliances must get a Marine Marine Gas certificate of compliance. The types of watercraft we certify include:
So no matter what type of marine vessel you have we will come and make sure your
LPG system is safe and working correctly. We will then issue them with certificates of compliance.
The main reasons you would need a current certificate of compliance is:
It is now quite common for people to get their boats and yachts from overseas. If you have done this, we advise getting your gas system certified by an Australian licensed gas fitter. As overseas gas installations and materials used generally don’t comply with Australian plumbing standards.
From our experience, for their peace of mind, owners are choosing to replace their gas appliance equipment on their vessel with electric appliances. We can decommission and remove LPG systems from the vessel. Understandably owners are wanting to eliminate the risk of a gas explosion by removing the explosive gas from inside the vessel.
If you have recently purchased a boat or yacht from overseas we can provide you with a gas certification.
It is always best to err on the side of caution when it comes to gas appliances. If in doubt call a licensed plumber as they are the experts.
Here are just a few reasons that you should make that call:
If you smell gas on your boat, even if faintly call a plumber. But before you do this, turn off the gas at the bottle immediately and ventilate the area.
If you are planning a long journey it is also best to get your marine gas equipment checked. This is not just for safety, but to make sure you are not left in the middle of a journey without cooking facilities or hot water.
We strongly recommend that every 2 years you get all your marine gas system checked. This is really the only way to keep you, your family and friends safe when you are out enjoying Sydney’s unique lifestyle on the North Shore and Northern Beaches. When we do your biannual check we make sure your gas cylinders are connected correctly, correct signage LP gas lockers. We check all accessible gas lines for leaks and test the correct operation of all appliances.
If you are planning to install a new gas appliance or replace any existing gas appliances (such as a cooktop) then you will need the whole LP system re-certified including a new Compliance plate and Certificate of compliance issued by the work.
Make sure you have adequate ventilation for all gas appliances. This includes gas cylinders.
If you have any portable cooking, refrigeration or heating appliances make sure they are secured against unexpected movement of the vessel.
Always keep your gas cylinders safe from corrosion. In addition, do not store them near a heat source. This is because cylinders may overheat and be damaged. Regularly check that hoses and connections are in good condition and are secured firmly.
Consider installing gas vapour detectors in addition to regular check, to make sure they are working.
It is easy to forget to turn off a gas appliance – but if you do it can lead to catastrophic consequences. By placing a reminder notice, next to the appliance – such as ‘turn the gas off when not in use’ you will have that extra reminder.
We recommend that you get all the gas systems on your boat or yacht checked at least every 2 years. In addition, if at any time you suspect that there might be a problem call a plumber to make sure there are no issues with it. Don’t risk a gas leak or explosion.
