Regulations and directives

It is law that all gas appliances are installed and serviced by a
CORGI registered installer in accordance with the regulations.
Failure to install appliances correctly could lead to prosecution.
It is in your own interest, and that of safety, to ensure the law
is complied with.
The installation must also be in accordance with the latest
I.E.E (BS.7671) Wiring Regulations, water regulations, the
building regulations and the Building Standards (Scotland) and
any relevant requirements of the local authority.
It is a requirement and in your own interest, and that of safety
that this boiler must be installed by a CORGI registered
installer, in accordance with the relevant requirements of the
current Gas Safety (Installation and Use) Regulations,
The Building Regulations, current I.E.E. Wiring Regulations
and the relevant British Standard Codes of Practise.

4 Installation and maintenance instructions wall-mounted condensing gas boiler 600 - 11S/19S/24S/24C • 02/2006
NOTE
It is mandatory to clean and service the system
once a year. This includes an inspection of the
entire system to see if it is in full working order.
Defects and faults must be eliminated
immediately.
NOTE
When instructions aren't followed, warranty
expires.
Timber Framed Buildings
If the boiler is to be fitted in a timber framed building it should
be fitted in accordance with the Institute of Gas Engineering
document IGE/UP/7:1998.
Bathroom Installations
This appliance is rated IPX4D.
The boiler may be installed in any room or internal space,
although particular attention is drawn to the requirements of
the current IEE (BS.7671) Wiring Regulations and, in
Scotland, the electrical provisions of the building regulations
applicable in Scotland, with respect to the installation of the
boiler in a room or internal space containing a bath or shower.
If the appliance is to be installed in a room containing a bath or
shower then, providing water jets are not going to be used for
cleaning purposes (as in communal baths/showers), the
appliance can be installed in Zone 3, as detailed in BS.7671.
Compartment Installations
A compartment used to enclose the boiler should be designed
and constructed especially for this purpose.
An existing cupboard or compartment may be used, provided
that it is modified for the purpose.
In both cases, details of essential features of cupboard/
compartment design, including airing cupboard installation,
are to conform to the following:
BS 6798 (No cupboard ventilation is required - see 'Air Supply'
for details).
It is not necessary to have a purpose-provided air vent in the
room or internal space in which the boiler is installed. Neither
is it necessary to ventilate a cupboard or compartment in which
the boiler is installed, due to the low surface temperatures of
the boiler casing during operation; therefore the requirements
of BS 6798, Clause 12, and BS 5440:2 may be disregarded.
The position selected for installation MUST allow adequate
space for servicing in front of the boiler.
For the minimum clearances required for safety and
subsequent service, see the wall mounting template.
In addition, sufficient space may be required to allow lifting
access to the wall mounting plate.
Wall-mounted condensing gas boilers must only be operated
with the combustion air/flue gas systems especially devised
and authorised for this type of boiler.
Subject to modifications resulting from technical improvements!
