6.1 RELATED DOCUMENTS
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. The installation
should also be in accordance with any relevant requirements of the local gas distributor and local authority.
In addition the installation should follow the relevant guidance offered in the following documents. It is not
practical to list all relevant information but emphasis is placed on the following documents, as failure to comply
with the guidance given will almost certainly result in an unsatisfactory installation:
