16) registration for all Gas Intallers. Also they must be electrically
competent an adhere to IEE regulations.
Manual Handling: Any person or persons moving or lifting the boiler or
any part thereof should be trained in manual handling techniques and if

Manufacturers notes must not be taken in any way as overriding statutory
obligations
Safe, efficient and trouble free operation of conventionally flued boilers is
vitally dependent on the provision of an adequate supply of fresh air to the
room in which the appliance is installed. Account must also be taken of
any other fuel burning appliance existing or to be fitted when designing the
ventilation and combustion air systems.
The air supplied for boiler house ventilation shall be such that the
maximum temperatures within the boiler house shall not exceed 25°C at
floor level, 32°C at mid level (1.5m above floor level) and 40°C at ceiling
level (or 100mm below ceiling level). Refer to BS 6644: 1991 for further
details. BS 5440/989 Part 2.
