3.1 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.

3.2 Consideration should also be given to the requirements of

the Boat Safety Scheme (BSS) to ensure the boat's insurance

remains valid.

3.3 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).

3.4 Secure the product to a suitably constructed non-

combustible hearth.

3.5 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.

3.6 Failure to safely install the appliance could endanger the

boat and persons on board.
