What regulations must all gas installations comply with, in addition to manufacturer’s instructions?

The requirement for all gas installations to comply with local building codes and safety standards, in addition to the manufacturer's instructions, is primarily aimed at ensuring safety and adherence to legal requirements. Local building codes are established by municipalities and are designed to create a minimum standard for construction practices, ensuring that all gas installations meet necessary safety protocols to protect both the users and the community. Safety standards often include guidelines set by recognized bodies, ensuring that systems operate safely and efficiently.

Manufacturer’s instructions are critical as they provide specific operational guidelines and safety precautions for a particular product but may not encompass all local legal requirements or additional safety measures necessary for safe operation in a given area. Compliance with both local codes and safety standards ensures comprehensive adherence to safety, legal, and operational requirements, which may vary by region and are essential for public safety and well-being.
