5. Fitting Appliances On A Boat
5.1 If an appliance is to be fitted in a boat it must be done in
accordance with the latest edition of BS 8511 (Code of
Practice for the Installation of Solid Fuel Heating Appliances
on Boats). The Code covers the design, installation and
operation of solid fuel heating appliances that are suitable
for fitting into inland waterway boats, and gives guidance
on product selection, design considerations, installation
requirements, inspection and testing, as well as maintenance
and safe use tips.
5.2 Consideration should also be given to the requirements
of the Boat Safety Scheme (BSS) to ensure the boat's
insurance remains valid.
5.3 The appliance should only be installed by a competent
person with experience of the latest edition of BS 8511 and
the Boat Safety Scheme (BSS).
5.4 Secure the product to a suitably constructed non-
combustible hearth.
5.5 All open flued appliances can be affected by temporary
atmospheric conditions which may allow fumes to enter the
boat. An electronic carbon monoxide detector conforming
to the latest edition of BSEN50292 must be fitted and
maintained.
5.6 Failure to safely install the appliance could endanger the
boat and persons on board.
