Natural gas is a kind of flammable gas mixture extracted from the depths of the earth's crust. Natural gas, which is an oil derivative, ranks second after crude oil as fuel in the ranking of importance. Most of the natural gas is methane, which is composed of carbon and hydrogen atoms. Other components of natural gas are ethane, propane and butane.

In some regions, natural gas has been found in large cracks and gaps between the rock layers close to the earth's crust. Natural gas found in such formations is called traditional natural gas. In addition, natural gas is found in the small pores of some shale, sandstone and other sedimentary rock formations, mostly deeper than the earth's crust. Natural gas is also produced by deposits of crude oil. Natural gas deposits are sometimes located on the seashore and under the ocean floor as on land.

The search for natural gas is carried out by geologists studying the structure and processes of the world. Geologists generally conduct seismic surveys on land and in the ocean to find natural gas and oil deposits and drill wells. If seismic survey results show that a region has the potential to produce natural gas, the exploration well is drilled and tested. The results of the test provide information on the quality and quantity of natural gas available at the source.

According to a recent survey in the US, the share of natural gas-consuming sectors in total natural gas consumption is as follows: industrial sector (35 percent), electricity generation (34 percent), residences (16 percent), commercial use (12 percent) and transportation activities (percent 3). In other words, the maximum use of natural gas is to heat buildings and generate electricity. The industrial sector mostly uses natural gas as fuel, combined heat and power systems and as raw material to produce chemicals, fertilizers and hydrogen. The electricity sector uses natural gas to generate electricity.

A certificate of conformity for gas appliances, also known as a natural gas conformity certificate, is a certificate issued by the competent authorities to issue this certificate in terms of legal regulations.

The natural gas conformity certificate ensures that a natural gas-fired device in a plant is safe to the applicable standards. Such a certificate must be obtained when a natural gas appliance is installed, replaced or more importantly any change in ownership of the installation. Legislation to ensure occupational health and safety in force also includes principles in this direction.

The gas installers are obliged to test the installation for errors after completing the gas installation work in the gas installation connected to a gas network and issue a certificate of conformity to the consumer and the relevant network operator.

When installing gas installations that are not connected to any gas network, gas installers are required to carry out the necessary tests and issue an inspection certificate after the installation is completed. During these inspections, all gas containers, gas regulators and gas devices connected to the installation are examined, installation errors, if any, are detected, a compliance plate is attached to the installation and an inspection certificate is issued to the owner of the installation.

Essentially, the gas conformity certificate or specifically the natural gas conformity certificate is a document that shows compliance with the standards and legal regulations issued by domestic and foreign organizations. This document demonstrates that any installation is safe and tested for potential failures or defects.

Our company also provides natural gas conformity certificate services within the scope of other certification services. Thanks to these services, enterprises are able to produce more efficient, high performance and quality products in a safe, fast and uninterrupted manner.

Natural gas conformity certificate services provided within the scope of other certification services are only one of the services provided by our organization in this respect. Many other certification services are also available.
