The State Committee for Urban Planning and Architecture (SCUPA) has made changes to the standard AzDNN 2.13-1 «Design standards of gas supply," according to which for safety reasons in case of emergency all gasified buildings, regardless of their purpose, must be provided facilities and automated systems that turn off the gas supply. These buildings should be built alarm systems warning against the danger of the detection of signs of fire.
According to SCUPA, in case of excess gas pressure 0.0025 MP in internal pipelines, in order to optimize the combustion of gas, the gas appliances must be installed regulators and stabilizers. In the new residential buildings gas appliances fitted with automatic safety devices will be installed to stop gas supply in case of uncontrolled flame.
In addition, all apartments should be installed sensors of air pollution with gas. In this case the sensor associated with an electromagnetic cover will be installed on the gas inlet tube in the flat.
All this work should be carried out by licensed specialists. -----08D
