CE marking
It is a legal requirement that many gas appliances offered for sale conform to the Gas Appliances (Safety) Regulations 1995. These are generally appliances that are used to heat people, cook or provide lighting. They have to be independently certified by ‘Notified Bodies’ and have to carry the CE mark to show that they conform to the regulations. In addition a Notified body also has to carry out surveillance of the production of these appliances and number accompanying the CE mark refers to this body - in our case 0086 which is BSI.
The Bullfinch brand appliances certified are: Radiant heaters Nos. 1200HL, 2200 and 1212, Industrial space heater No. 1400, Boiling ring No. 1391, Handilight No.1616, Simba heaters RD4200, RD4200/01, CAT3000 CAT3000/01, DTRD4200, and Marquee heaters 2208 and 2217, Hotplate 7420. All other Bullfinch brand appliances and equipment are exempt.
Bullfinch Extra appliances such as patio heaters and barbecues, boiling rings etc are CE marked where required.
Please note that Flashback arrestors are not needed when propane or butane is used with air. This is true for Bullfinch propane or butane burning appliances. Flashback arrestors are required for the Bullfinch Autotorch for acetylene and for oxy-propane and oxy-acetylene systems (download letter from HSE for verification).
Low pressure appliances
Traditionally most low pressure appliances in UK operate at 28/29 mbar with butane and 37 mbar with propane. This is category I3+. General portable appliances like patio heaters, barbecues, boiling rings, hotplates will operate off either supply but care needs to be taken to read the instructions as there may be some variation in this.
New caravans and some other environments now have to be supplied with special regulators that are rated at 30mbar whether propane or butane is used. This is category I3B/P. Built in appliances will be made for this pressure and they may not work satisfactorily on a I3+ supply. Portable appliances will generally work satisfactorily off this supply for example using our Gas/barbecue point no. 6087/01.
