BlueGEN(R) receives product certification from the Australian
Gas Association
Ceramic Fuel Cells Limited (AIM / ASX: CFU) a leading developer
of high efficiency and low emission power products for homes and
other buildings, is pleased to announce that the Company's BlueGen
gas to electricity generator has been certified by the Australian
Gas Association (AGA) for installation as a gas appliance in
Australia.
After rigorous testing and evaluation for compliance, AGA has
certified the BlueGen to a new safety standard for fuel cell
appliances. BlueGen is the first product to comply with this new
standard in Australia.
BlueGen is now certified as a "Type A" gas appliance, which
allows BlueGen units to be installed by a licensed and trained
plumber / gasfitter as for any other typical gas appliance in
Australia. BlueGen has also been certified for both indoor and
outdoor installations. Previously the installation of BlueGen was
restricted as a "Type B" appliance, meaning that the respective
State Technical Regulator was required to inspect and approve each
installation.
Over the past few months the Company has been working very
closely with AGA. This work included the AGA liaising with the
Australian Regulatory Authorities, extensively assessing the design
of the BlueGen to relevant standards and conducting independent
tests on a BlueGen unit at the AGA testing facilities.
AGA is an independent body which provides accredited product
certification and testing services for the gas, electrical and
plumbing industries in Australia. AGA product certification is
based upon an independent technical assessment of a sample product
against relevant safety standards (type-testing) and compliance
with any other regulatory requirements.
BlueGen has also received full CE safety approval for
installation in homes and other buildings in Europe. The Company is
also working towards receiving BlueGen safety approval for North
America by the end of the year.
BlueGen uses patented ceramic fuel cell technology to turn
natural gas into electricity and heat for hot water, with the
highest electrical efficiency of any small scale generating
technology in the world. In Australia BlueGen units are installed
in Melbourne, Sydney, Adelaide, Canberra and Brisbane. BlueGen
units are available to commercial customers through distributors
Harvey Norman Commercial division and Hills Industries.
