Recommendations for the installation, commissioning, operation and maintenance of open vented or sealed systems.

This Part of BS 6880 gives recommendations regarding the work involved in installation, commissioning, operation and maintenance of low temperature hot water (see 1.2.1) heating systems of output greater than 45 kW, open vented or sealed. It is primarily intended for use by building owners, building managers, installers and associated professionals. It is not intended to serve as a detailed design guide (see foreword).

The recommendations recognize the need to optimize the use of energy, reduce hazards and minimize effects detrimental to the environment.

Solar heating is outside the scope of this code.

NOTE The titles of the British Standards publications referred to in this standard are listed on the inside back cover. References in the text to other publications are identified in the text by numbers in square brackets, and are listed in Appendix A.
