15、prepared under the direction of the Gas Standards Policy Committee and is a revision of BS 5871-2:1991, which is withdrawn. A period of three months has been allowed for users of the old standard to convert to the new standard. This part of BS 5871 specifies requirements for the installation of inse
16、t live fuel effect gas fires, which differ from decorative fuel effect gas appliances in that they incorporate a heat exchanger and restrict the passage of the products of combustion between the appliance firebed and the chimney or flue. This revision provides an update of the previous standard and
17、has been extended to cover both the new development of inset live fuel effect gas fires combined with back boilers and also fires with a direct flue connection. In order to improve the layout of the standard, the requirements for the installation of fire/back boilers and fire/back circulators are no
18、w specified in clauses 15, 16, 17 and 18. BS 5871 continues to cover the different types of fuel effect appliances in a single series of British Standards, as follows: Part 1: Gas fires, convector heaters, fire/back boilers and heating stoves (1st, 2nd and 3rd family gases); Part 2: Inset live fuel
19、effect gas fires of heat input not exceeding 15 kW, and fire/back boilers (2nd and 3rd family gases); Part 31): Decorative fuel effect gas appliances of heat input not exceeding 20 kW (2nd and 3rd family gases). To identify which part of BS 5871 to use when fitting an appliance which simulates a sol
20、id fuel fire, reference should be made to Figure 1 which serves to illustrate appliance types and link them to the appropriate 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 h) of the commentary and recommendations o
21、n 5 of this standard. The manufacturers instructions supplied with fanned draught appliances in which the fan is either 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 5
22、871 are those that are “CE” marked. However, BS 5871-1 may also be referred to for the installation of used appliances, where appropriate, providing the manufacturers instructions are available. In such circumstances, the installer should satisfy himself that the appliance is safe in construction an
23、d condition, and can be used without constituting a danger. Attention is drawn to clause 5 concerning this particular aspect. Arising from European Standards harmonization, some British Standards appliance specifications are now being replaced by European Standards. One consequence of this process i
24、s that the reference clearance flue flow test, currently included in some of the 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, tha
25、t an appliance will just clear its combustion products. The test has been used as a key factor in determining whether or not certain appliances of 7 kW1) heat input or less require purpose provided ventilation for their installation. 1) Due to tolerances, this applies to a heat input of 7 kW on both
26、 net and gross calorific value. See clause 1, Scope, note 3.

27、 the clearance flue test as an informative annex. 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 thei
28、r installation. This standard allows manufacturers 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
29、 level of safety. In such circumstances, it is important that the manufacturers instructions are followed. NOTE 1In the preparation of this standard, the opportunity has been taken to present it in the format of a practice specification as defined in PD 6501-1. This format allows the requirements of
30、 the specification to be supported by recommendations. To comply with 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. A British Standard does
31、not purport to include all the necessary provisions of a contract. Users of British Standards are responsible for their correct application. Compliance with a British Standard does not of itself confer immunity from legal obligations. In particular, attention is drawn to the following. a) The Gas Sa
32、fety (Installation and Use) Regulations (S.I. 1998 No. 2451) 1. b) The Gas Appliances (Safety) Regulations 1995 (S.I. 1629) 2. c) The Building Regulations 2000 (S.I. 2531) 3. d) The Building Standards (Scotland) Regulations 1990 (S.I. 2179) (as amended) 4. e) The Building Regulations (Northern Irela
33、nd) Statutory Rules No. 243 (as amended) 5. f) The Gas Safety (Application) Order 1996 (Isle of Man) 6.

35、BS 5871 specifies installation requirements for inset live fuel effect gas fires of heat input not exceeding 15 kW (16.6 kW based on gross calorific value) burning 2nd and 3rd family gases for the purpose of heating rooms or spaces in domestic (see note 5) or commercial premises. Combined appliances
36、 of the type where a fire is used in conjunction with a boiler or circulator are also covered in so far as the installation of the combined appliance is concerned. The standard is applicable to appliances intended for installation either: a) within a builders opening and/or fireplace recess and whic
37、h may, additionally, be suitable for installation in a purpose designed metal flue box and flue conforming to the constructional and temperature requirements of BS 715; or b) using a direct flue connection, if specified in the manufacturers instructions; or c) in the case of a room sealed appliance,
38、 using a flue terminal/air duct assembly supplied by the appliance manufacturer. This standard covers the selection of a suitable appliance, the ventilation and flueing requirements, and other measures necessary to ensure a safe installation. The central heating and/or hot water system connected to
39、a combined appliance is not within the scope of this standard and reference should be made to BS 5449 and BS 5546 for this part of such an installation. This standard is not applicable to mobile and portable appliances conforming to BS EN 449 or to appliances in touring caravans (see note 5). The re
40、quirements for the installation of fire/back boilers and fire/back circulators are specified in clauses 15, 16, 17 and 18. NOTE 1Attention is drawn to the Foreword concerning fuel effect appliances which burn gas so as to simulate a solid fuel fire. The only types of such appliance covered by this p
41、art of BS 5871 are those detailed in h) of the commentary and recommendations on 5 of this standard. Further guidance in this respect is given in Figure 1. NOTE 2Unless the context requires otherwise, inset live fuel effect gas fires are hereinafter referred to as fires. NOTE 3Heat inputs in this do
42、cument are based on net calorific value. Figures based on gross calorific value are given in parenthesis where deemed necessary. See also clause 5, commentary and recommendations f). NOTE 4Attention is drawn to the Foreword concerning the installation of used appliances. NOTE 5As well as normally co
43、nstructed dwellings, domestic premises include any permanently sited caravan, holiday homes, residential park homes and permanently moored boats. Additional requirements exist for these categories of premises and can be found in IGE/UP/8 9. Neither standard applies to gas installations in towed or m
