(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
