At Under Control Instruments, safety and compliance are at the heart of everything we do. We’re excited to introduce our new Gas Interlock Control Panel (Model: GICS2601) — a reliable, cost-effective solution designed specifically for commercial kitchens, catering facilities, and gas-powered environments where ventilation and gas safety must be seamlessly interlocked.

Why a Gas Interlock System Matters
In busy professional kitchens, ensuring that gas appliances only operate when appropriate ventilation is running isn’t just good practice — it’s often a regulatory requirement. A gas interlock system prevents dangerous situations by:
-
Ensuring gas supply is enabled only when extraction fans are running properly
-
Automatically shutting off the gas if airflow drops below safe levels
-
Alerting staff to unsafe conditions with visual and audible alarms
This greatly reduces the risk of harmful gas buildup, fire hazards, and toxic fumes — protecting both people and property. (Under Control Instruments)

Our new panel is engineered to meet BS6173 and UKCA standards, giving you confidence that your kitchen meets core UK safety regulations. (Under Control Instruments)
