Liquicontrol regulators to be replaced
Liquigas Malta Ltd notifies that the Malta Competition and Consumer Affairs Authority (MCCA) brought to its attention that the Liquicontrol regulator does not fully comply with EN12864 standard and therefore as a preventive measure the manufacturer, Lagoplast s.r.l., has agreed to replace this regulators with an updated version.
The new regulators are being modified to ensure they will be fully compliant with the required standard and, once re-certified, will be supplied free of charge to all those customers who had purchased a Liquicontrol regulator.
There are just under 4,000 of these regulators are on the market. It is expected that the new regulators should be available in September and a media announcement will be made to this effect once they become available.
A Liquigas spokesperson confirmed that no leakages or issues of compatibility have in fact been reported with any Liquicontrol regulator since its introduction last year. Liquicontrol regulators are manufactured by Lagoplast, a reputable supplier in Italy, which has many years of experience manufacturing LPG equipment and has never had any problems with this type of regulator.
However, once the MCCA has decided that Liquicontrol regulators are not fully compliant, Liquigas Malta has insisted that all necessary measures be taken by its supplier (Lagoplast s.r.l.) to ensure the highest standard of quality and safety.
