SCIOS

The Foundation for the Certification, Inspection and Maintenance of Furnaces (SCIOS) administers a quality system for furnaces. Certified inspection companies such as GTI inspect the performance, safety and environmental friendliness of your furnace.

What does GTI do?
During an inspection, we temporarily take over the system from you. We stage trials in which we simulate all the 'extremes'. That provides us with answers to questions such as: What happens when the gas pressure is too high or too low? What happens when the system gets too hot? And what happens if the air pressure is too low? When incidents like this occur, the system is supposed to switch off safely.

GTI also inspects the furnace room in which the system is located, where we focus on the following, for example:

• fire resistant properties;
• ventilation;
• accessibility of the system;
• the presence and accessibility of escape routes.

On the basis of the inspection, we compile a report in which we specify whether your furnace meets the requirements.

Why GTI?
There are three important reasons for choosing GTI:

1. Our services entail more than inspection.
GTI can advise you on measures to resolve any defects in the system (and also provide you with a cost estimate). If you wish, we will repair the defects ourselves. Moreover, you can enter into a maintenance and management contract with GTI for several years. We will then take full responsibility for all your system maintenance tasks.

2. GTI offers independent inspection.
Not only GTI as a company, but also all our inspectors individually are certified for various disciplines (scopes). Moreover, every inspector is evaluated every eighteen months on the basis of an examination of his/her work and reports.

3. GTI is the only organisation that can provide the SCIOS inspection as part of a total package.
