On–site Identification
When a chimney or flue or a combustion appliance, (irrespective of fuel used), is installed or renovated, it is a mandatory requirement that a Notice Plate be completed and fixed in a relevant position. The BFCMA also recommends that a Check List is left with the house occupant. The purpose of the Check List is to ensure that the installation has been carried out correctly. The Notice Plate is a record of the installation, the appliance and fuels that can be used with the chimney. It must be located in a convenient and accessible location, for example, near a services meter. Completion of the data required on the Notice Plate can be by the heating appliance installer, builder, chimney supplier/installer or other competent person. This is an example of the Notice Plate as defined in Building Regulation Approved Document J.
