SGS,
the world’s leading testing, inspection and certification company, has
published an article looking at the ways gas appliance and component
manufacturers can successfully enter North American markets with safe and
compliant products.
Unintentional,
non-fire related carbon monoxide poisonings account for 4,000 hospitalizations
and 400 deaths per year in the US. Gas appliance and component suppliers need
to be certain their products are safe and perform to necessary standards in
order to successfully access these competitive markets.
SGS’s
Consumer Compact article looks at the advantages and disadvantage of gas
appliances and the potential problems that can occur when products are poor quality
or badly maintained. It also considers what solutions are available to
manufacturers and suppliers that will ensure safety and help them to build
consumer trust.
