WHY MARINE GAS CERTIFICATION & COMPLIANCE IS ESSENTIAL

Marine Certification: Your Safety, Our Priority

At Coast Gas, we specialise in Marine Gas & RV certification and compliance. We ensure your vessel not only meets but exceeds the highest safety standards before you hit the road or the water.

Compliance is Non-Negotiable

In New Zealand, when working on any LPG system installed in a vessel is classified as high-risk and must strictly comply with AS/NZS 5601.2:2020.

Cutting corners isn’t an option when it comes to gas safety—even small issues pose serious risks. That’s why only a fully qualified and licensed gasfitter from our team will inspect your system and issue the mandatory Gas Safety Certificate.

This provides you with absolute peace of mind: your gas system is safe, fully compliant, and recognised by all New Zealand insurance companies.

KEEPING YOU SAFE ON THE WATER: PROACTIVE MARINE SAFETY

At Coast Gas, our number one passion is keeping Kiwis safe. That’s why we stress the importance of regular compliance checks for your vessel.

Our certified gasfitters regularly encounter setups in yachts and launches that pose serious risks. By having your gas system thoroughly inspected and certified, you’re doing more than just complying with regulations—you are actively protecting yourself, your passengers, and your valuable property.

A Thorough Check You Can Trust

Our dedicated team performs a comprehensive examination of your vessel's entire gas system:

Appliances: We check gas cooktops, water heaters, and heating systems.
Components: We inspect all lines, connections, and fittings.

Every component is tested to ensure it functions efficiently and safely. Even if your system has been running smoothly for years, our inspections are vital for detecting hidden leaks or wear before they ever turn into a hazard.

Don't wait—schedule your professional safety inspection today and enjoy your time on the water with confidence.

LEGAL REQUIREMENTS AND YOUR PEACE OF MIND

Gas certification isn’t just good practice—it's a legal requirement whenever gas work is carried out on your Launch, Power Boat, or Yacht.

After completing any installation, repair, or upgrade, you must be provided with a Gas Safety Certificate and a Certificate of Compliance (CoC). This is your guarantee of compliance.

Our Recommendation for Longevity

While annual certification isn’t mandatory (though some marinas may request it), we highly recommend servicing your gas appliances every couple of years. Regular maintenance is the best way to:

Maintain efficiency
Reduce gas usage
Identify potential leaks early
