13、nd Building Structures Standards Policy Committee. It is a revision of BS5601-2:1978, which is withdrawn. It is one of a series that is being published for leisure accommodation vehicles and transportable accommodation units. The other Parts of BS6762 are: Part 1 1) : Ventilation; Part 3: Oil-fired

14、heating systems; Part 4 1) : Liquefied petroleum gas installations; Part 5: Low voltage electrical installations; 1) Part 6 1) : Water supply; Part 7 1) : Drainage. This standard aligns with the other Parts of BS6762. Its main purpose is to provide increased safety for occupants of park homes and tr

15、ansportable accommodation units by lessening the risk of fire and reducing the likelihood of accidents caused by escaping fumes. It is recommended that open fires should not be installed in park homes nor transportable accommodation units. This revision is specifically limited to the installation of

16、 closed heating appliances which are solely used for burning solid smokeless mineral fuel; this was implicit in the previous edition of the standard but not stated. The British Standards published for park homes and transportable accommodation units are, respectively, BS3632 and BS6492-1 and BS6492-

17、2. Since the publication of the previous edition, uninsulated chimneys have generally been superseded by combined units and by factory-made insulated chimneys because of their safety and convenience. In view of these advantages, this revision deals solely with the installation of factory-made insula

18、ted chimneys complying with BS4543, which limits the rated output of any one appliance, or of combined units comprising a cast iron flue with an insulating outer pipe, to45kW. It should be noted that the requirements of BS4626 and BS4989 do not permit the installation of solid fuel fired heating app

19、liances in touring trailer caravans or in holiday caravans, nor should they be installed in motor caravans. Insulating materials consisting of asbestos reinforced cement or other asbestos based products should not be used to provide non-combustible surfaces or for other purposes. NOTEThe manufacture

20、 and use of all asbestos based products is covered by the requirements of the Control of Asbestos at Work Regulations1987, introduced on1 March1988. These set out comprehensive provision covering work activities involving exposure to asbestos. Advice on how to comply with these regulations can be ob

21、tained from the manufacturers of the material, from the Asbestos Information Centre, St Andrews House, 22-28 High Street, Epsom, Surrey, KT198AH, from the local area office of the Health and Safety Executive or from the Environmental Department of the Local Authority. WARNING. Breathing asbestos dus

22、t is dangerous to health and precautions have to be taken during the manufacture and use of these products. Particular note has to be taken of the Asbestos Products (Safety) Regulations1985 and the Asbestos Products (Safety) (amendment) Regulations1987, made under the Consumer Safety Act1978, and al

23、so of the Asbestos (Prohibitions), Regulations1985 2)and the Asbestos (Prohibitions) (amendment) Regulations1988 made under the Health and Safety at Work etc Act1974, which prohibit the supply of products containing amosite or crocidolite (“brown” asbestos and “blue” asbestos respectively) and set o

24、ut requirements for the labelling of all products containing asbestos. All the above legislation implement European Directives. 1) In preparation. 2) Parallel regulations for Northern Ireland came into force on6 March1986.BS 6762-2:1991 BSI 04-1999 iii A British Standard does not purport to include

25、all the necessary provisions of a contract. Users of British Standards are responsible for their correct application. Compliance with a British Standard does not of itself confer immunity from legal obligations. Summary of pages This document comprises a front cover, an inside front cover, pagesi to

26、iv, pages1to10, an inside back cover and a back cover. This standard has been updated (see copyright date) and may have had amendments incorporated. This will be indicated in the amendment table on theinside front cover.iv blankBS 6762-2:1991 BSI 04-1999 1 1 Scope This Part of BS6762 gives recommend
