BS6173

BS6173 says…

“It is important to make sure all natural and mechanical ventilation systems are working effectively. The installer should have fitted the appropriate interlocking system between any mechanical ventilation system and the operation of gas appliances so that failure of the system causes the gas supply to them to be shut off. Installation of manual bypasses to such interlock

systems is not permitted.”

When should a Gas Interlock system be used

• If a power-operated flue system for gas is fitted in your commercial kitchen, the British regulation BS6173 states that you should install a safety lock system.
• This is a requirement if a new ventilation or extraction system is fitted.
• New gas-line pipework or kitchen layout is installed.
• Any category B appliance such as combi-oven, grills, griddles and fryers. This should also be fitted to existing layouts should there not be one present.
