Regulations
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:
