This code of practice covers the design, installation and operation of solid fuel heating and cooking appliances (hereafter referred to as appliances) which are suitable for fitting into small craft from 2.5 m to 24m in length. These appliances can burn either natural or manufactured solid mineral fuels, or natural or manufactured wood logs.
This code of practice gives guidance on appliance selection, design considerations, installation requirements, inspection and testing, and preparing instructions for the end user of the appliance. Guidance is also provided on the necessary safety information to be provided to the end user concerning the maintenance and safe use of these appliances.
This code of practice only applies to freestanding appliances with closable doors, with and without legs.
This code of practice does not apply to the installation of appliances with a firebox volume of less than 0.01 m3 and a grate size smaller than 0.05 m2, and where the dimensional recommendations of the installation cannot be met (e.g. in traditional narrowboat boatman’s back cabins).
NOTE The basic principles in this code of practice can be used in installation of appliances outwith its scope.
Warnings on the provisions necessary for appliances with boilers are given in Annex D, but this code of practice does not cover the installation details of hot water systems.
This code of practice does not cover open fires, inset appliances, or portable or other open appliances such as barbecues.
