Approved Document J outlines building regulations in England for the storage of fuel system and combustion products.
The Government has recently proposed amendments to Approved Document J. The revised document sets out amendments to guidance previously published in Approved Document J: Combustion appliances and fuel storage systems 2010 edition incorporating 2010 and 2013 amendments.
The amendments highlighted in the revised Document will be effective from the 1st October 2022.
The proposed amendments seek to ensure that new build and materially altered properties in England have a Carbon Monoxide (CO) alarm installed wherever a fuel burning appliance is present (excluding cookers), as per the Building Regulations, Approved Document J.
In addition, it also looked to remove the word ‘solid’ from the requirements for CO alarm installation.
