PRE- INSTALLATION CHECKS
The installer should also be aware of his/her
responsibilities under The Health and Safety at Work
Act. The interests of safety are best served if the boiler
is installed and commissioned by a competent
engineer, OFTEC trained and Registered. If not a
Building Notice is required in England
&
Wales. Other
parts of the British Isles including the Channel Islands
also require notification to building control.
BOILER INSTALLATION:
Other than special considerations for condensate
removal and plume dispersal, the installation of oil
firing condensing boilers is the same as for
non-condensing boilers.
BS 5410 : Part 1 1997 gives the requirements for
domestic boiler and oil storage installations.
For condensing boilers the same requirements apply
for installation with regard to cleaning and flushing
and providing inhibitors as are followed for any other
boiler. Manufacturers instructions must always be
followed together with the requirements of BSEN
12828, 2003
&
BS EN 12831, 2003, which supersede BS
5449 1990, and the statutory requirements of the
Building Regulations.
STANDARDS & REGULATIONS
To ensure the highest standards of installation &
safety, it is important that the boiler be installed in
compliance with the following regulations where
applicable. It is the responsibility of installer and
everyone concerned with any aspect of installation
to ensure that all applicable standards and
regulations are fully adhered to.
