Planned amendments to legislation:

  • as of 31 December 2017, the sale and refilling of “red” 50 L gas tanks will be prohibited. This means that the gas tanks we are currently using will have to be recycled and new-generation tanks will need to be purchased instead;
  • as of 1 January 2019, residents will not be able to connect a mechanical ventilation device, or steam hood, to an apartment building’s natural ventilation system if the apartment has a gas stove and no additional ventilation that guides the exhaust gases outside the building. To comply with these fire safety requirements, many apartment owners will have to choose between modifying their ventilation or purchasing electric stoves.
