14、 under the direction of the Gas Standards Policy Committee. Its primary purpose is to supplement standards for the safety of domestic gas appliances, e.g. BS 5258, which, while purporting to cover electrical as well as gas and mechanical safety aspects, do so only by general reference to BS 3456-101

15、. This British Standard is intended for appliances of gas heat input not exceeding60kW and in which there is no intentional additional electrical heating. It is based on, and the format closely follows that of, BS 3456-101 which itself is the implementation in a British Standard of CENELEC 1)Harmoni

16、zation Document 251 S3. Attention is drawn to the requirements of the Low Voltage Electrical Equipment (Safety) Regulations 1989. A British Standard does not purport to include all the necessary provisions of a contract. Users of British Standards are responsible for their correct application. Compl

17、iance 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, pages i to iv, pages1to 46, an inside back cover and a back cover. This standard has been updated (see copyright date) and may have

18、had amendments incorporated. This will be indicated in the amendment table on the inside front cover. 1) European Committee for Electrotechnical Standardization.iv blankBS7462:1991 BSI 02-2000 1 1 Scope This British Standard specifies the electrical safety requirements for domestic gas appliances, h
