5) ROOM VENTILATION
The room containing the hotplate should have an
air supply in accordance with BS 5440 Part 2 :

. If it is installed in
a room of volume less than 5m
3
an air vent of
effective area 100cm
2
is required (see fig. 3); if it is
installed in a room of volume between 5m
3
and
10m
3
, an air vent of effective area 50cm
2
is
required; while if the volume exceeds 11m3, no air
vent is required. However, if the room has a door
that opens directly to the outside, no air vent is
required even when the room volume is between
5m
3
and 10m

.
If there are other fuel burning appliances in the
same room, BS 5440 Part 2 : 2000 should be
consulted to determine the requisite air vent
