13、Part of BS8303 has been prepared under the direction of the Engineering Sector Board, and together with BS8303 Parts2 and3supersedes BS8303:1986 which is withdrawn. BS8303 covers the design and installation of domestic heating and cooking appliances burning solid mineral fuel. This Part of BS8303 de
14、tails the design specification to be followed by the designer, when developing an acceptable appliance installation design for a particular application. Part 2 of BS8303 specifies the practices to be followed when installing the appliance in accordance with the design specification. It reflects good
15、 site supervision and working practices. Part 3 of BS8303 gives guidance and recommendations to the designer and installer on options to be identified and the methods of achieving a safe and satisfactory installation. It also gives important guidance on other matters including maintenance and cleani
16、ng. BS8303 does not deal with design or installation of hot water heating systems or hot water supply systems. However, where the appliance involves hot water services then attention is drawn to BS5449:1990. Attention is drawn to the need to ensure compliance with all local and general regulations a
17、s they affect the installation, including the following; planning permission; Building Regulations 1; Clean Air Act 2; Gas Safety (Installation and Use) Regulations 3. A British Standard does not purport to include all the necessary provisions of a contract. Users of British Standards are responsibl
18、e for their correct application. Compliance with a British Standard does not of itself confer immunity from legal obligations.

31、d type of chimney flue, and access for sweeping; position and type of ventilators necessary to ensure adequate provision of air for combustion and ventilation. 4.3 Exchange of information with appliance installer The design specification shall be made available to the installer prior to commencing w
32、ork.BS8303-1:1994 2 BSI 02-1999 5 General requirements 5.1 Mechanical resistance and stability The designer shall use materials whose mechanical resistance and stability is not adversely affected when subjected to the heat expected during normal use. Where it is necessary to construct a new fireplac
33、e recess, the designer shall ensure adequate foundationing for it and the chimney serving it. The design of the fireplace recess (see clause 7) shall be such that the chimney is adequately supported by the fireplace recess where appropriate by the use of load bearing lintels or corbelling of coursed
34、 masonry. Where it is necessary to construct a new chimney, it shall conform to the requirements of BS6461-1:1984 or BS7566:1992. In the case of a chimney not serving a fireplace recess the chimney shall be constructed with adequate foundationing where appropriate, so that no part of the chimney is
35、supported by the appliance. NOTEFurther information is given in clause 4 of BS8303-3:1994. The designer shall ensure that the appliance manufacturers instructions regarding securing the appliance are followed in order to prevent movement during normal use which could cause joint separation and a lea
36、kage to occur between the appliance and the flue, such that the ability of the chimney to evacuate products of combustion safety to the outside atmosphere is impaired. NOTEFurther information is given in clause 5 of BS8303-3:1994. 5.2 Safety in case of fire The materials used in the installation of
37、an appliance shall be non-combustible in accordance with the requirements of BS476-4:1970 in order to limit the spread of fire to other rooms. 5.3 Hygiene, health and the environment The size of air inlets into the room shall be such that sufficient air for combustion and ventilation is provided to
38、avoid the escape of products of combustion from the appliance. In the case of an open fire an air opening or openings with a total free area of at least50% of the throat opening area (see clause 14 and Figure 1, Figure 2 and Figure 3) shall be provided. For other appliances an opening or openings wi
39、th a total free area of at least550mm 2per kW of rated output above5kW shall be provided. Where a flue draught stabilizer is used the total free area shall be increased by300mm 2for each kW of rated output. Extractor fans shall not be located in the same room or space in which an appliance is instal
40、led. All joints between an appliance and its chimney shall be sealed using non-combustible material in a manner that enables the joint to withstand the expansion and contraction to which it is subject during normal use. NOTEFurther information is given in clause 7 of BS8303-3:1994. The designer shal
41、l ensure that the chimney outlet conforms to BS7566:1992. 5.4 Safety in use The designer shall ensure that the chimney flue size for the appliance to be installed is not less than those shown in Table 1. NOTEFurther information is given in clause 8 of BS8303-3:1994. Any fireplace recess shall be con
42、structed of non-combustible material in accordance with clause7. The outer surface temperature of the walls of the fireplace recess shall be such that during normal use of the appliance adjacent combustible material is not ignited from the heat transmitted. An appliance shall be installed on or abov
43、e a hearth (see clause 8) so that adjacent combustible materials shall not be ignited from the following causes: a) direct radiation or conduction of heat from the appliance (see clauses 17 to 20 depending upon the specific appliance to be installed); b) embers falling from the appliance (see clause
44、8); c) heat transfer from the fluepipe and fittings (seeclauses 9, 10 and11). NOTEFurther information is given in clause 9 of BS8303-3:1994. Where accidental human contact is possible surfaces shall be either lower in temperature than can cause harm as described in BS4086:1966 and PD6504:1988 or whe
45、re appropriate be protected by the use of a fireguard conforming to BS6539:1984. Where fireguards are used, provision shall be made for fixings conforming to BS6539:1984. NOTELowering the surface temperature of some surfaces may be achieved by the use of insulating materials. It shall be possible to
46、 inspect, clean and maintain the chimney without removing the installed appliance. Where the chimney cannot be swept through the appliance a soot door and/or flue pipe access port shall be provided for inspection, cleaning and maintenance (see clause 10). Each appliance shall be connected to its own
47、 individual flue. A number of individual flues may form part of a single chimney stack.BS8303-1:1994 BSI 02-1999 3 Electrical components shall have an electrical supply fitted with an appropriate fuse. Means of isolating electric components shall be provided in accordance with BS7671:1992. NOTEWhere
48、 gas is to be used for ignition purposes, attention is drawn to the Gas Safety (Installation and Use) Regulations 3. 5.5 Protection against noise Where noise generated from the operation of an appliance is sufficient to prevent sleep or rest the installation of the appliance shall be such that the n
49、oise is not transmitted to adjacent occupancy areas. NOTEFurther information is given in clause 10 of BS8303-3:1994.
