Most new building work will require the relevant building control body to be notified
prior to the building work commencing. This will not be required if the work is carried
out under a self certification scheme or if the work is not notifiable. Full details of the
self certification schemes and work that is not notifiable can be obtained from page
9 of Approved Document G, available from www.planningportal.gov.uk.
A suitably competent trades person must install the BoilerMate and carry out any
subsequent maintenance/repairs. The manufacturer’s notes must not be taken as
overriding statutory obligations.
The Domestic Building Services Compliance Guide 2013 defines, one of the fixed
building services, as any part of or controls associated with fixed systems for domestic
hot water. All fixed building services, including theircontrols, should be commissioned
by testing and adjustment to ensure that they use no more fuel and power than is
reasonable in the circumstances. Where commissioning is required, if it is completed
by a person registered with a competent person scheme, the commissioning notice
will be supplied by that person, otherwise the person carrying out the work must notify
the relevant building control body, that commissioning has taken place in accordance
with the Domestic Heating Compliance Guide.The building control body will then be
able to issue a completion certificate. This applies to England, for other jurisdictions in
the UK, it may be necessary to consult their own building regulations and guidance.

physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience or knowledge, unless
they have been given supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance by
a person responsible for their safety.
Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.
