The National Standard Organization of Iran, with the approach of the cold season and the increase in natural gas consumption, has recommended that the public use standard gas appliances. This action can help optimize gas consumption and ensure sustainable energy supply.
The Importance of Using Standard Gas Appliances
Given the serious limitations in gas supply for households, industries, and power plants, using standard gas equipment has become one of the key solutions to overcome gas imbalance. Standard equipment typically features optimized burners, efficient heat exchangers, and temperature control systems that reduce energy waste.

Using high energy-rated gas appliances, such as high-efficiency water heaters and packages, can significantly reduce gas consumption. Standard appliances are also equipped with safety systems that prevent accidents. These systems include automatic gas shut-off in case of flame extinguishment and oxygen deficiency controllers.
Risks of Using Non-Standard Appliances
Old and non-standard appliances not only consume more but also significantly increase the risk of producing toxic carbon monoxide gas and fire due to incomplete combustion and lack of safety equipment. Accidents caused by gas poisoning and the use of non-standard appliances endanger the lives of many citizens every year. Using standard appliances and adhering to safety principles can significantly reduce these incidents.
Optimizing gas consumption should not come at the cost of safety. For example, completely blocking ventilation openings under the pretext of preventing heat loss increases the risk of poisoning. Proper installation and regular servicing of gas appliances are also very effective in maintaining their efficiency and safety.
The public is urged to pay attention to the presence of the standard mark and energy label when purchasing or replacing gas appliances and to avoid buying smuggled and low-quality goods.
