Does the incinerator fall under the category of \"gas-fired heaters\" as mentioned in the \"List of Processes and Equipment for Phasing Out Hazardous Chemicals\"?”

Hello everyone. I would like to ask whether common solid and liquid natural gas combustion furnaces fall under the category of \"gas heating furnaces\" as mentioned in the \"List of Hazardous Chemical Production Processes and Equipment to Be Phased Out\" – Appendix: List of Outdated Hazardous Chemical Production Processes, Technologies, and Equipment to Be Phased Out (First Batch). Serial number, outdated process/technology; name of the equipment; reason for phasing it out; type of phase-out; scope of application; name of alternative technology or equipment; basis for decision. 7: Gas heating furnaces and heat transfer oil furnaces without flame monitoring and shut-off protection systems. Such furnaces lack mechanisms for flame monitoring and shut-off protection, which can lead to explosions in the furnace chamber. The renovation must be completed within one year; there are no restrictions on furnaces used for scientific research experiments. Gas heating furnaces and heat transfer oil furnaces equipped with flame monitoring and shut-off protection systems – Article 35 of the Work Safety Law
One cannot rely solely on the literal meaning; although the catalog mentions heating furnaces and heat transfer oil furnaces without referring to incinerators, it is necessary to understand the purpose of installing flame monitoring and flameout protection systems. If an incinerator relies on the continuous combustion of natural gas to maintain a flame, then a flameout protection system is also required.
