Water Heater Certifications,
Filed as Documents, Not Badges.
Gulfstone builds off-grid outdoor water heaters for importers, RV builders and outdoor brands. A certification is only worth what the buyer can read — so every certificate, letter and laboratory report behind these marks is published in full.

The file
Three Markets, Three Schemes,
Each Proved by Its Own Document.
Nothing here is one certificate stretched across three regions. Each market has its own scheme, its own standard and its own document, issued by its own body — each previewed below.

One laboratory served two of these files: the Australian test report was produced by CCIC-CSA International Certification Co., Ltd. in Guangzhou, under the same master contract the North American report carries.

The unit exactly as the laboratory received it, page by page — the record that ties the certificate to a physical article.
Nothing here is a redrawn summary — each preview is the document as issued, with only the identifying fields masked.
The path
A Certificate Is the Last Step,
Not the First Claim.
The Australian file is followed here from application to marking, because every stage of it is on this page. The other two markets run the same shape through their own bodies.
- 01
Application and Test Programme
The configuration is submitted and an application number is allocated. AGA set the test programme against the standard before any testing began — for this file, AGA application 20295.
- 02
Independent Laboratory Test
An accredited laboratory tests the submitted sample against the standard. This file was tested by CCIC-CSA International Certification Co., Ltd. in Guangzhou, accredited to ISO/IEC 17025 under accreditation number TL-464.
- 03
Sample Modification and Re-Test
Where a test requires a change, the sample is modified and re-run rather than argued past. This file records a modified exhaust outlet and a mesh wind barrier fitted at the bottom before the tests passed.
- 04
Review and Certificate
The scheme reviews the report and issues the certificate if the results stand. AGA recorded the results as satisfactory with no further assessment required, and issued certificate 9358.
- 05
Production Audit
The certificate is not the end of the obligation. AGA require a Product Verification Audit — arranged when the first production batch is ready. For this file that audit is outstanding.
- 06
Marking Before Supply
Nothing ships before the unit carries its marks. AGA require a Maker's Warranty Badge or an AGAMark under licence, plus the Gas Compliance Mark, on every production unit.
The certifying body's condition on the mark
CSA make the certificate conditional on a production test plan run at the factory and documented for their field services representatives. These are CSA's conditions on the mark, not our own line controls — how the line itself is gated is on the quality control page.
- Burner, manifold and control assembly — proper operationEvery unit
- Manifold and control assembly — gas tightnessEvery unit
- Components — regulators, valves, controlsPer batch or per month

A Certificate Names Configurations,
Not a Product Line.

Certification Attaches to the Configuration That Was Tested
Certification covers the configurations listed above and nothing else. A model outside them is not covered, and a change to a covered one re-opens the file — which is why the alterations record sits below. What applies to your order is confirmed in writing.
Our position on certification claimsThe tested configuration
A Live File Records What Changed,
And Closes It.
Certification tests a specific build. When the build changes, the file records the change and the unit is re-tested before the certificate stands — including when a test fails first.
Sample Modification
The submitted sample was recorded with a modified exhaust outlet and a mesh wind barrier at the bottom — the change the wind test required. The tests were then passed.
Resolved before issueIgnition Period
The delayed ignition test failed because the flame flashed out of the appliance. The ignition period was changed from 4 seconds to 1.5 seconds, and the report records the alteration.
Resolved in edition 1Why We Publish This
Every certification file accumulates notes like these. A file that shows only the passes has been summarised; this one records the change and the fix together, which is the only form in which it is useful to a buyer.

Buyer evidence
What a Complete File Looks Like from the Buyer's Side
From buyers whose compliance lead read the source documents rather than a summary.
“The paperwork arrives with the goods now, instead of after them.”
Two customs clearances, neither held. We import into three markets and every one wants proof before it wants a sample — the first container carried the certificate and the report behind it, so our compliance lead read the source rather than chase us for one.

“The report listed our exact configuration by name.”
Our model's suffix matched the market it was bound for, so nothing rested on our reading of a range certificate. When we changed the build, the file recorded the change and the paperwork was updated before the next batch shipped.

Before you order
The Certificate Questions a Buyer Asks
Which document applies, what is covered, and what the file does not claim.
01Which certificate applies to the unit I order?
It depends on the destination market and the exact configuration. Each document in the file lists the model numbers it covers, and those lists do not overlap across markets — an -AU unit is covered by the Australian certificate and not by the North American one. Tell us the market and the configuration and we will confirm which document applies, in writing, before the order.
02Can I see the certificates before placing an order?
Yes — that is what this page is. Every certificate, letter and laboratory report behind the marks is published as a redacted preview, so your compliance lead can read the source documents rather than take our word for the standard.
03The laboratory report is marked Draft. Is it valid?
It is the working report the certificate was issued on, published as it stands rather than cleaned up. The certificate itself — the document that carries the mark — is the issued version and sits alongside it in the file. We publish the draft because it is the document containing the test detail, and hiding it would make the file less useful.
04Does the European verification cover the gas appliance?
No, and we state that rather than let it be assumed. The European document is a verification of conformity for a battery-operated shower system under the Low Voltage Directive, which covers electrical safety. The directive it names is printed on the document, and it should be read with that scope.
05What happens if you change something on a certified model?
The change is recorded against the certification and the affected tests are re-run before the certificate stands. Our own change-control process — how one approved sample is held as the reference for a whole run — is on the manufacturing page; this page records the changes the certification bodies themselves noted.
06Why is a production audit still outstanding on the Australian file?
Because the certificate is issued before the audit, not after it. AGA require a Product Verification Audit to be arranged when the first production batch is ready, and we would rather publish that than present a complete-looking file. It is the normal sequence, and it will be closed when the first batch runs.
