Gas Proving Systems for Safer Classrooms, Kitchens, and Industrial Facilities
Detect faults, prevent accidents, and maintain compliance with Oceania Gas Safety’s proven gas safety solutions.
Intelligent Gas Proving Systems That Protect People and Property
Gas proving systems verify the integrity of gas lines before allowing gas to flow — a crucial safety measure in environments where undetected leaks could pose serious risks. Used widely in schools, kitchens, laboratories, and industrial spaces, these systems are designed to automatically test for pressure drops, detect faults, and shut off supply if issues are found.
OGS supplies the trusted Merlin range, developed by S&S Northern, to meet the requirements of AS/NZS 5601.1:2022, helping organisations across Australia and New Zealand stay safe and compliant. Our systems are reliable, easy to install, and backed by local support teams.
Where Our Gas Proving Systems Are Used
School laboratories and science rooms
Protect students and staff by ensuring gas is only supplied when ventilation and pressure conditions meet safety requirements.
Commercial kitchens and hospitality venues
Automatically verify startup conditions for gas appliances to prevent leaks,accidents, and non-compliant operation.
Aged care and healthcare facilities
Deliver added protection in environments with vulnerable occupants by confirming safe gas flow before activation.
Government and council buildings
Support regulatory compliance and public safety with automated gas verification across kitchens, labs, and service areas.
Industrial plant rooms and boiler rooms
Detect pressure drops and confirm line integrity before gas is enabled,reducing operational risks in mechanical settings.

Bringing together over 20 years of experience and new modern digital components, Oceania Gas Safety has developed the Merlin range of gas detection and kitchen interlock panels to be not only easy to install and use but also cost effective and competitively appealing.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is a gas proving system?
A gas proving system checks the integrity of a gas line before gas is allowed to flow. It detects any potential leaks by monitoring pressure levels and shuts off the gas supply if unsafe conditions are detected.
Are gas proving systems required in New Zealand or Australia?
Gas proving is often a recommended or required measure in compliance with AS/NZS 5601.1:2022, especially in education and commercial settings. Local regulations or consultants may specify the need for proving in specific applications.
What’s the difference between Merlin 1000V and 1000V+?
Both models provide reliable gas proving functionality. The 1000V+ includes enhanced features like additional sensor support and integration capabilities for more complex environments.
How quickly can gas proving be completed?
A typical proving cycle takes just a few minutes. Systems are automated and will either permit gas flow or shut it off based on the outcome.
Is the Merlin system easy to install?
Yes. Merlin systems are designed for easy integration and come with clear wiring diagrams. We also offer local technical support and guidance throughout New Zealand and Australia.
