Scope

This part of BS 5410 gives recommendations and guidance on the design, installation,commissioning and maintenance of oil burning installations for heating,hot water and steam supply services having a total rated output of over 45 kW and/or an oil storage capacity above 3 500 L. This part of BS 5410 is applicable to installations burning liquid fuel conforming to BS 2869:2010+A1,including biofuels, for example those containing fatty acid methyl esters (FAME) conforming to BS EN 14214, and blends thereof. The standard covers the provision of new installations and also gives guidance on the modernizing of existing installations. The standard also gives recommendations and guidance on the selection and installation of oil tanks associated with these installations. This part of BS 5410 is applicable to the oil burning equipment forming part of a multi-fuel installation in which oil is not burnt simultaneously with any other fuel. It is not applicable to oil fired systems for marine installations. The standard also gives recommendations on thermal fluid heaters and on portable plants, for example those used for emergency or temporary heat supply. The standard is intended for use by designers, specifiers,installers and building owners.
