Such checks are typically initiated when a gas consumer or the gas distribution network operator detects damage to seals or the meter without any visible signs of tampering with the device.

When and why checks are conducted:

If there is damage to seals or the gas meter, but no evidence of illegal interference, a check may be initiated.

Specialists will carry out a thorough inspection or examination.

If the check reveals violations, a report is drafted, documenting the findings.

How the process works:

The report is reviewed by a commission with mandatory participation from the gas consumer.

Счетчик

If the commission confirms the violation, a calculation report is issued, determining the volume of gas that allegedly went unaccounted for or was overestimated.

The consumer is required to pay the calculated amount for the unaccounted gas.

The consumer has the right to appeal the commission's decision to the National Commission for State Regulation in the fields of Energy and Public Utilities (NERC).

Alternatively, the consumer may file an appeal in court to contest the findings.

This process emphasizes the importance of proper maintenance of gas equipment and awareness of consumer rights, especially if you believe that the inspection results are inaccurate or unfair.
