What is Type B Commissioning?

Type B commissioning involves the testing, adjustment, and certification of industrial and commercial gas appliances that fall outside of standard domestic applications. These appliances typically exceed 500 MJ/hr and may include – boilers, furnaces, ovens and kilns, cremators, spray booths, or industrial burners.

Frequently Asked Questions

We’ve answered some of the most common queries to help you better understand our process, standards, and how we keep your systems running smoothly and safely.

Type B gas commissioning is the mandatory process of inspecting, testing, and certifying gas-fired appliances — such as steam boilers, spray booths, bakery ovens, and cremators — to ensure they operate safely, efficiently, and in compliance with Australian standards and South Australian gas regulations.
Commissioning is required whenever a new Type B appliance is installed, an existing appliance is modified, relocated, repaired in a way that could affect gas safety, or when compliance certificates need to be renewed for regulatory or insurance purposes.

In Australia, a Type B appliance refers to any gas-fired equipment that is not a standard household appliance and typically has a gas consumption rate above 10 megajoules per hour (MJ/h).
Common examples include industrial steam boilers, spray booths, commercial bakery ovens, hot water boilers, incinerators, and cremators.
Because of their size, complexity, and risk level, Type B appliances require specialised design approvals, commissioning by licensed Type B gas fitters, and formal certification to comply with AS 3814 and local gas regulations.

Absolutely. Elite Combustion can commission any Type B gas appliance, even if we were not the original installer.
We will thoroughly inspect, test, and verify the installation against Australian standards and South Australian gas regulations to ensure safe, compliant operation.
If any issues are identified, we’ll work with you to resolve them before certification.

Yes. In South Australia, only licensed Type B gas fitters are legally authorised to commission Type B appliances.
Commissioning involves safety checks, pressure testing, combustion tuning, control system validation, and formal certification — all of which require specialist knowledge and licensing to meet regulatory compliance under standards like AS 3814 and AS/NZS 5601.

The Type B certification process involves a detailed inspection, testing, and approval of your gas appliance to ensure it meets Australian standards and South Australian gas regulations.

Once certified, you’ll receive formal documentation confirming your appliance is safe, compliant, and ready for operation.

Elite Combustion’s process includes:

  • Reviewing design documentation and installation quality.

  • Conducting pressure testing and leak checks.

  • Completing combustion analysis and burner tuning.

  • Verifying safety controls and interlocks.

  • Preparing and submitting a full commissioning report to the gas authority for certification approval.
    We take care of all communication and documentation with the gas network operators and the Office of the Technical Regulator (OTR) to ensure your appliance is formally certified and approved for safe operation.

Once certified, you’ll receive formal documentation confirming your appliance is safe, compliant, and ready for operation.
