Competent Persons Regulations and Oil Technicians in England and Wales
The Government have introduced the Competent Persons Scheme in England and Wales to give an advantage to
operatives within the Construction Industry who are members of bodies that implement approved systems of
competence assessment and inspection.
It is designed to remove some of the burden of supervising work away from the Local Authority Building Control
Departments, so that they can concentrate on tracking down and prosecuting the ‘cowboy’ element within the
construction industry.
For the oil industry, the OFTEC Registration Scheme has been chosen to define competence. The Building Act of 1984
requires a person carrying out certain types of building work to give building notice or Building Regulation approval to
Building Control. This will involve payment of a fee to the Local Authority.
As from 1st April 2002, an amendment to Regulation 12 of the Building Regulations which covers Combustion
Appliances came into force. This exempts OFTEC Registered Installation, Commissioning and Servicing Technicians and
Tank Installation Technicians from the need to give notice and pay a fee when carrying out new installation work,
replacement work or making a major change to a system, in the areas covered by their class of registration. Registered
Technicians are required to keep a record of any work they undertake. OFTEC provides approved control documents
for installation work (CD/10) and commissioning work (CD/11).
It should be noted that the Building Regulations define installation work as including commissioning. An oil installation
will, therefore, require to be both installed and commissioned by a suitably qualified OFTEC Technician, if the need to
apply for a notice and pay a fee is to be avoided. The table overleaf shows which categories of technician can undertake
the various types of work covered by the new Regulations.
If you are qualified then you are competent to install this stove.
It is recommended that an audible carbon monoxide alarm is fitted as a precaution.
Order code: CO7B-10Y 10 YEAR CO ALARM
The carbon monoxide alarm should comply with BS EN 50291-1:2010, and must be installed to the manufacturers’
installation instructions, and current Buildings Regulations.
