18、mmittee and is a revision of BS 5871-1:2001, which is obsolescent and will be withdrawn in due course. This new edition of BS 5871-1 comes into effect on 11 July 2005. Requirements for flueless appliances specified in BS 5871-1:2001 no longer appear in this new edition of the standard. These are to
19、be included BS 5871-4, which is currently in the course of preparation. The requirements for flueless appliances specified in BS 5871-1:2001 will remain current until such time as BS 5871-4 is published. This revision provides an update of the previous standard and has also been extended to cover th
20、e installation of heating stoves and appliances where the flue is connected directly to the appliance outlet spigot. In order to improve the layout of the standard, additional requirements for the installation of fire/back boilers and fire/back circulators are now specified in Clauses 15, 16, 17 and
21、 18. BS 5871 continues to cover the different types of fuel effect appliances in a single series of British Standards, as follows: BS 5871-1: Gas fires, convector heaters, fire/back boilers and heating stoves (2nd and 3rd family gases); BS 5871-2: Inset live fuel effect gas fires of heat input not e
22、xceeding 15 kW and fire/back boilers (2nd and 3rd family gases); BS 5871-3: Decorative fuel effect gas appliances of heat input not exceeding 20 kW (2nd and 3rd family gases); BS 5871-4: Independent gas-fired flueless space heaters of nominal heat input not exceeding 6 kW (2nd and 3rd family gases)
23、(in the course of preparation). To identify which part of BS 5871 to use when fitting an appliance which simulates a solid fuel fire or produces other decorative effects, e.g. a pebble fire, reference should be made to Figure 1 which serves to illustrate appliance types and link them to the appropri
24、ate part of BS 5871. It should be noted that the only fuel effect appliances covered by this part of BS 5871 are gas fires detailed in i) of the commentary and recommendations in Clause 5 of this standard. The manufacturers instructions supplied with fanned draught appliances in which the fan is eit
25、her integral with the appliance or with the flue system will make reference to the appropriate part of BS 5871. It should be noted that the only appliances covered by this part of BS 5871 are those that are “CE” marked. However, BS 5871-1 may also be referred to for the installation of used applianc
26、es, where appropriate, providing the manufacturers instructions are available. In such circumstances, the installer should satisfy himself that the appliance is safe in construction and condition, and can be used without constituting a danger. Attention is drawn to Clause 5 concerning this particula
27、r aspect. BS 5871-1:2005 iv BSI 15 April 2005 Arising from European Standards harmonization, some British Standards appliance specifications are now being replaced by European Standards. One consequence of this process is that the reference clearance flue flow test, currently included in some of the
28、 British Standards covering the safety of appliances dealt with by BS 5871, will not be given in European appliance standards. This test has hitherto been used to determine the flue flow, under laboratory conditions, that an appliance will just clear its combustion products. The test has been used a
29、s a key factor in determining whether or not certain appliances of 7 kW 1)heat input or less require purpose provided ventilation for their installation. Although BS 5871 is an appliance installation standard, the drafting committee has decided to include the clearance flue test as an informative an
30、nex. It is hoped that this arrangement will provide Notified Test Houses under the Gas Appliance Directive with a continuing means to evaluate appliances for installation within the UK which claim that no purpose provided ventilation is necessary for their installation. This standard allows manufact
31、urers instructions to specify a method of installation, testing, commissioning or maintenance which 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 i
32、s important that the manufacturers instructions are followed. NOTE In the preparation of this standard, the opportunity has been taken to present it in the format of a practice specification. This format allows the requirements of the specification to be supported by recommendations. To comply with
33、this specification, the user has to comply with all its requirements. He may depart from recommendations but this would be his own responsibility and he would be expected to have good reasons for doing so. This publication does not purport to include all necessary provisions of a contract. Users are
34、 responsible for its correct application. Compliance with a British Standard does not of itself confer immunity from legal obligations. In particular, attention is drawn to the following statutory regulations. The Gas Safety (Installation and Use) Regulations 1998 1. The Gas Safety (Installation and
35、 Use) (Northern Ireland) Regulations 2004 2. The Gas Appliances (Safety) Regulations 1995 3. The Building Regulations 2000, as amended 4. The Building (Scotland) Regulations 2004 5.

The BSI copyright notice displayed in this document indicates when the document was last issued. 1) Due to tolerances, this applies to a heat input of 7 kW on both net
37、 and gross calorific value see Clause 1, Scope, Note 2.BS 5871-1:2005 BSI 15 April 2005 1 1 Scope This part of BS 5871 specifies installation and maintenance requirements for flued fixed space heating appliances burning 2nd and 3rd family gases for the purpose of heating rooms or spaces in domestic
38、(see Note 4) or commercial premises. It applies to appliances known as radiant gas fires, radiant convector gas fires, convector heaters, and heating stoves. Combined appliances of the type where a gas fire is used in conjunction with a boiler or circulator are also covered in so far as the installa
39、tion of the combined appliance is concerned. This standard covers the selection of a suitable appliance, the flueing and/or ventilation requirements, and other measures necessary to ensure a safe installation. The central heating and/or hot water system connected to a combined appliance is not withi
40、n the scope of this standard and reference should be made to BS 5449 (see Note 5) and BS 5546 for this part of such an installation. This standard is not applicable to: a) mobile and portable appliances conforming to BS EN 449; or b) appliances in touring caravans; or c) open-fronted radiant-convect
41、or heaters without a dress guard. Additional requirements for the installation of fire/back boilers and fire/back circulators are specified in Clauses 15, 16, 17 and 18. NOTE 1 Attention is drawn to the foreword concerning fuel effect appliances which burn gas so as to simulate a solid fuel fire or
42、produce other decorative effects. The only types of such appliances covered by this part of BS 5871 are those detailed in i) of the commentary and recommendations on Clause 5 of this standard. Further guidance in this respect is given in Figure 1. NOTE 2 Heat inputs in this document are based on net
43、 calorific value. Figures based on gross calorific value are given in parentheses where deemed necessary. (See also Clause 5, commentary and recommendations, h). NOTE 3 Attention is drawn to the foreword concerning the installation of used appliances. NOTE 4 As well as normally constructed dwellings
44、, domestic premises include any permanently sited caravans, holiday homes, residential park homes and permanently moored boats. See IGE/UP/8 8. NOTE 5 BS 5449 has been partly replaced by BS EN 12828 and BS EN 12831, and is to be withdrawn once BS EN 14336 and BS EN 14337 are published. 2 Normative r
