BSI 2008 vBS 5440-1:2008ForewordPublishing informationThis pa
27、rt of BS 5440 is published by BSI and came into effect on 31 March 2008. It was prepared by Technical Committee GSE/30, Gas installations (1st, 2nd and 3rd family gases) to support and complement BS EN 15287-1 and BS EN 15287-2.SupersessionThis part of BS 5440 supersedes BS 5440-1:2000+A2:2005, whic
28、h is withdrawn.Information about this documentBS 5440 is published in parts as follows: Part 1: Specification for installation of gas appliances to chimneys and for maintenance of chimneys; Part 2: Specification for installation and maintenance of ventilation for gas appliances.This revision has bee
29、n undertaken for the following reasons.a) To acknowledge that European work on chimney standards has brought about the need to redefine chimney concepts and adopt common terminology consistent with the range of products used across the whole European Community. To align with European Standards, (the
30、 general requirements for which are given in BS EN 1443) where a chimney is treated as a structure containing a flue (the passageway) and might include a liner (inner wall), insulation and an outer wall. The common terminology in UK industry, which has regarded a chimney as a masonry structure gener
31、ally associated with solid fuel appliances, has been superseded. Attention is drawn to the definitions for chimney (3.9), connecting flue pipe (3.17), flue (3.28) and flue liner (3.31), air supply duct (3.1) and room-sealed chimney configuration (3.44).b) To recognize and refer to recent changes in
32、building legislation.c) To cover recent developments in appliance design, flue material and practical experience in the disposal of products of combustion by means of flues.d) To improve advice on flueing and ventilation installation practices and reduce occurrences of CO related incidents attributa
33、ble to flueing and ventilation for gas appliances.It is essential that the appropriate specifications/codes of practice are consulted on all aspects of appliance and flue installation.Use of this documentIt has been assumed in the preparation of this British Standard that the execution of its provis
34、ions will be entrusted to appropriately qualified and experienced people, for whose use it has been produced.BS 5440-1:2008vi BSI 2008This British Standard allows gas appliance and/or chimney manufacturers instructions to recommend a method of installation, testing, commissioning or maintenance whic
35、h differs in points of detail from this standard. This reference to manufacturers instructions is allowed only where it will result in at least an equivalent level of safety. In such circumstances, it is important that the manufacturers instructions are followed.Presentational conventionsThe provisi
36、ons of this standard are presented in roman (i.e. upright) type. Its requirements are expressed in sentences in which the principal auxiliary verb is “shall”.Commentary, explanation and general informative material is presented in smaller italic type, and does not constitute a normative element.Requ
37、irements in this standard are drafted in accordance with The BSI guide to standardization Section 2: Rules for the structure, drafting and presentation of British Standards, subclause 11.3.1, which states, “Requirements should be expressed using wording such as: When tested as described in Annex A,
38、the product shall .”. This means that only those products that are capable of passing the specified test will be deemed to conform to this standard.Contractual and legal considerationsThis publication does not purport to include all the necessary provisions of a contract. Users are responsible for i
39、ts correct application.Compliance with a British Standard cannot confer immunity from legal obligations.In particular, attention is drawn to the following statutory regulations.a) The gas safety regulations for the appropriate legislative region: Gas Safety (Installation and Use) Regulations 1998 1;
40、 Gas Safety (Installation and Use) Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2004 2.These control all aspects of the ways gas fired systems are installed, maintained and used, mainly in domestic and commercial premises, (e.g. offices, shops, hospitals, educational and other public buildings), and the classes o
41、f persons who might undertake gas work.b) The building regulations for the appropriate legislative region: Building Regulations for England and Wales 2000 3; Building Regulations (Northern Ireland) Statutory Rules 2000 4; Building Standards (Scotland) Regulations 1990 5; Building Regulations (Isle o
42、f Man) 2003 6.c) Gas Appliance (Safety) Regulations 1995 7.These control the supply of new gas appliances and specify the conditions required for CE marking.d) Gas Safety (Application) (Isle of Man) Order 1996 8. BSI 2008 1BS 5440-1:20081 ScopeThis part of BS 5440 specifies requirements for the inst
43、allation of gas appliances to chimneys, chimney installation work likely to be undertaken by gas engineers and operatives working under UK gas industry conditions and requirements for the maintenance of chimneys. It is applicable to open flue chimneys for Type B gas appliances and room-sealed chimne
44、y configurations for Type C gas appliances, each of rated input not exceeding 70 kW net (see Note 2 and Note 3), burning 1st, 2nd or 3rd family gases. It applies to chimneys of the natural draught or fanned draught type and is applicable to open flue chimneys and room-sealed chimneys supplied with t
45、he appliance as well as to those supplied separately.NOTE 1 Type B and Type C appliances are explained in Table A.1.It complements the requirements for the design, installation and commissioning of chimneys as required in BS EN 15287-1 and BS EN 15287-2 and requires extra details that are specific t
46、o the UK gas industry. This is kept in perspective by quoting some details of BS EN 15287-1 and BS EN 15287-2.It specifies the following: requirements for the selection of the appropriate flueing option for gas appliances in the UK; requirements for the installation of gas appliances to new chimneys
47、, or chimney configurations; requirements for the installation of gas appliances to existing chimneys or chimney configurations; requirements for the installation of appliances which carry a CE mark and for which the manufacturers instructions are available to the installer; requirements installatio
48、n of appliances which do not carry a CE mark and used/second-hand appliances for which the manufacturers instructions are available to the installer.This part of BS 5440 is applicable to: complete chimney and all chimney components from the appliance connection to the discharge point into outside ai
49、r; the installation of gas appliances to existing chimneys that were intended originally for appliances burning other fuels; chimneys for residential park homes but not to chimneys for leisure accommodation vehicles.This part of BS 5440 is not applicable to gas-fired incinerators. Refer to BS 5871-3 for the installation
