Code of practice for oil firing - Part 1: Installations up to 45 kW output capacity for space heating and hot water supply purposes

Code of Practice for oil burning installations.

This British Standard, a part of the BS 5410 series, deals with oil burning installations up to 45 kW output capacity for space heating and hot water supply purposes and associated oil tanks of capacity up to 3 500 l. It also applies, where relevant, to oil fired cookers where these are connected to flues. This code does not apply to oil firing in marine and transportable installations, or in flueless heaters.

This Standard provides minimum recommendations for the installation of all types of oil burning equipment so that equipment manufacturers, suppliers, installers and users have a common basis on which to work.

This British Standard supersedes BS 5410-1:1977 which is withdrawn.
