******************************************************************************************
     The Electrical and Mechanical Services Department (EMSD) announced today (March 28) the rating results of the Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) Cylinder Distributor Safety Performance Recognition Scheme (the Scheme) for 2023.
      
     All the 145 distributors under the five registered gas supply companies supplying LPG cylinders in Hong Kong joined the Scheme. Among the participating distributors, 64 attained the highest level of safety performance, the gold rating, while 15 and 66 received silver and bronze ratings respectively.
      
     Under the Scheme, independent auditing companies commissioned by the registered gas supply companies rated the distributors based on their performance in LPG cylinder delivery arrangements, safety inspection of gas appliances, record keeping of customer receipts, employee training and maintaining gas safety operation records. The rating results were verified by the EMSD.
      
     Distributors will display the Scheme's logo and the rating certificate outside and inside their shops respectively for easy identification by the public.
      
     Organised by the EMSD and registered gas supply companies, the Scheme aims to enhance the safety performance of the LPG cylinder trade. For details of the Scheme and the ratings of LPG cylinder distributors, please visit the EMSD website (www.emsd.gov.hk/en/media/lpgcdsprs) and the EMSD mobile application "E&M Connect".
