GSP – Gas system installation test
after installation of a gas system in a motor vehicle
The proportion of gas-powered vehicles in the total vehicle population has so far played a rather negligible role. However, current KBA statistics show that the number of gas-powered vehicles is steadily increasing. The main reason for this development is the reduced mineral oil tax rate for natural and liquid gas until 2019.
But what is the GSP all about? GSP stands for gas system installation test and is carried out once by test engineers from recognized test organizations and officially recognized experts after the installation of a gas system that is approved in accordance with the European regulation ECE-R115. A system in accordance with the ECE-R115 regulation can be recognized by the approval number of the system, e.g. R115-000001.
For gas systems that are not approved in accordance with ECE-R115, an individual assessment in accordance with § 21 StVZO is required, which can only be carried out by an officially recognized expert.
What is checked?
The following documents must be brought to the GSP:
Once the GSP has been successfully completed, the gas system is entered in the vehicle documents at the registration office.
