A draft decree from the Environment Ministry would eliminate in-person inspections for boilers under 70 kilowatts, affecting about 20 million units, and replace them with remote checks every four years after earlier proposals to limit mandatory checks to digital reviews.The draft would allow regions to require more frequent inspections with ministry approval, but critics including Riccardo Bani and Marco Accornero warn the plan risks home safety, air pollution and relies on a national digital registry that does not yet exist; the Italian Gas Committee recorded 1,119 gas incidents with 128 deaths and 1,784 injuries from 2019 to 2023.
