Regulations
It is law that all gas appliances are installed by competent persons, in accordance with The
Gas Safety (Installation and Use) Regulations 1998. Failure to install appliances
correctly could lead to prosecution. It is in your own interest, and that of safety, to ensure
that this law is complied with. The installation of the equipment MUST be in accordance
with the relevant requirements of the Gas Safety Regulations, Building Regulations,
I.E.E. Regulations and the bylaws of the local water undertaking.
In addition, the installation should follow the relevant guidance offered in the following
documents. It is not practical to list all relevant information due to continuous changes but
emphasis is placed on the following documents, as failure to comply with the guidance
given will almost certainly result in an unsatisfactory installation:
• Institute of Gas Engineers and Managers (IGEM) Publications
• CIBSE Guides
• Clean Air Act
• H.S.E Guidance
Note
Manufacturer's notes must not be taken in any way as overriding statutory obligations.
