Building Regulation G3 draws attention to the Building Regulations 1991, especially
Regulation 11(1), 12(4), and 13(3). The following is quoted from these and Building Regulation
G3.
A person who intends to carry out building work or to make a material change of use shall-- give to the
local authority full plans and a building notice accompanied by a statement which specifies:
a: the name, make, model and type of hot water storage system to be installed
b: the name of the body, if any, which has approved or certified that the system is capable of
performing in a way which satisfies the requirements of paragraph G3 of Schedule 1.*
c: the name of the body, if any, which has issued any current registered operative identity card to the
installer or proposed installer of the system.
The full plans shall consist of a description of the proposed building work or material change of use,
and the plans, particulars and statements required.
*In the Secretary of State’s view requirement G3 will be met if a hot water storage system that has a
storage vessel with no vent pipe to the atmosphere:
a: has been installed by a competent person
b: has safety devices that prevent the temperature of the stored water at any time exceeding
100°C;
c: has pipework that safely conveys the discharge of hot water from safety devices to where it is visible
but will cause no danger to persons, in or about the building.
The Rinnai Infinity hot water storage system, like most systems over 150 litres capacity, has been
supplied as a package with the necessary safety devices to prevent the temperature of the stored water
from exceeding 100°C. It is the responsibility of the installer to make sure that proper certification has
been gained, and that the system is installed to the requirements of G3 and of this installation manual.
Additionally the installation must be carried out to the requirements of Building
Regulations issued by the Department of the Environment Building Standards
(Scotland) Regulations.
