Standards mean
gas fireplaces safer

FURTHER TO a warning issued
on May 7, Consumer and Cor-
porate Affairs Canada has been
informed by the Canadian Gas
Association (CGA) that certifica-
tion standards have been revised
for direct-vent natural gas and
propane fireplaces. The revised
Standards are designed to eliminate
the danger associated with any cx-
plosion which may occur when the
appliance is reignited while an ac-
cumulation of gas remains inside
the unit.

Provincial inspection authorities
have participated in the develop-
ment of the revised standards. Any
necessary safety modifications will
be made before certification is
reinstated and manufacturers

resume sales. Many direct-vent
fireplace models have now been
recertified to the revised CGA re-
quirements and have returned to
the market. Remaining units are
currently undergoing certification
tests,

Where safety modifications are
necessary for existing units, manu-
facturers are contacting consumers
to make arrangements. Owners of
direct-vent gas fireplaces who have
not yet been contacted should not
use their units and are encouraged
to contact the manufacturer or
dealer.

Direct-vent gas fireplaces have
sealed giass front panels that can-
not be opened and exhaust directly
through the wall behind the unit.
