Regulation (EU) 2016/426 and gas torches

From the PropaneTorchs sales and engineering team. Updated 2026-10-15.

Short answer. Portable gas torches sold in the EU are appliances burning gaseous fuels under Regulation (EU) 2016/426. They need assessment by a notified body, CE marking and an EU declaration of conformity, and the importer must be named on the product or packaging.

Key steps

  1. EU type-examination (Module B) by a notified body against standards such as EN 521.
  2. A production-conformity module covering series production.
  3. EU declaration of conformity and CE marking.
  4. Instructions and warnings in the language of the country of sale.
