BS 7593:2019

NOTE 1 The term "boiler", as used throughout this British Standard, reflects common parlance and refers to the appliance that heats the circulating water in a domestic central heating system (see 3.4). It does not actually raise steam (i.e. boil the water).

It does not apply to commercial or municipal premises or to multiple residential premises served by one common circuit, unless that common circuit can be effectively cleaned and flushed with domestic equipment. It does apply to individual heating and cooling circuits within individual dwellings in multiple residential premises.

NOTE 2 For specialized closed circuits, such as those containing solar thermal panels and ground source heat pump loops, refer to the manufacturer's instructions. See also BS 5918 (for solar thermal) and MIS 3005 [12] (for ground source heat pumps).

NOTE 3 For larger closed heating systems such as found in commercial or municipal premises, or the primary systems on residential developments, refer to BSRIA BG 29 [13].Cross References:BS EN 14743BS EN 12828BS EN 1717Hazardous Waste (England and Wales) Regulations 2005Control of Substances Hazardous to Health Regulations 2002BSRIA BG 29Building Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2000Water Supply (Water Fittings) Regulations 1999BS 5918BS 5955-8Building (Scotland) Regulations 2004BS EN 14868Trade Effluent (Proscribed Processes and Substances) Regulations 1989Hazardous Waste Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2005Hazardous Waste (Wales) Regulations 2005Building Regulations 2000 Health and Safety at Work, etc. Act 1974Special Waste (Scotland) Regulations 1996
