Proposed as the replacement for the Australian Gas Association Standard AG 108-1993, Approval Requirements for Domestic Decorative Gas Log Fires. It is the result of a comprehensive revision of the 1993 Standard. It provides uniform minimum requirements for the safe design and performance of decorative gas log and other fuel effect appliances. Neither the "Individual Certification Check List" nor the "Appliance Test Report Sheets" are included in this draft. They will, however, be published in due course.

Revision of AG 108-1993. To be AS 4558/AG 108
