This part of BS 5410 gives recommendations and guidance on the design, installation, commissioning and maintenance of liquid fuel burning installations for space heating and hot water supply purposes in domestic buildings with an output not exceeding 70 kW. It also gives recommendations and guidance on the selection and installation of liquid fuel storage tanks of capacity up to 3 500 l, when installed at domestic buildings. This British Standard is also applicable to liquid fuel fired cookers where these are connected to flues. This part of BS 5410 is not applicable to liquid fuel fired systems for marine and transportable installations, or for flueless heaters.

This part of BS 5410 is applicable to installations burning liquid fuel conforming to BS 2869, including biofuels conforming to BS EN 14214, and blends thereof.

This British Standard is intended for use by designers, specifiers, installers, and service and commissioning engineers.

NOTE 1 The types of appliances and burners covered by this part of BS 5410 are described in Annex A.

NOTE 2 Liquid fuel tank installations at domestic buildings, with a storage capacity greater than 3 500 l, are covered by BS 5410‑2.

NOTE 3 Liquid fuel tank installations at non-domestic buildings, with a storage capacity up to 3 500 l, are covered by BS 5410‑2.

NOTE 4 Where a domestic building has a boiler capacity in excess of 70 kW installed in a dedicated boiler or plant room, see BS 5410‑2.
