Gas Interlock Systems

Gas Interlock and Ventilation Safety Checks

Many commercial kitchens require a gas interlock system to prevent gas appliances being used when ventilation is not operating correctly.

During a CP42 inspection, we can check your gas interlock system, emergency stop controls, solenoid valve and ventilation-linked safety controls where applicable.

If your kitchen does not have a suitable gas interlock system, we can advise on installation or upgrades.
