Verification is made on a paid basis. The total amount depends on the number of units of gas equipment. The new owner of the premises must pay for the work. If the master detects a mismatch of the condition of the equipment or elements of the gas pipeline with the safety requirements, the deficiencies will have to be eliminated.
