SAFETY NOTICES
1.6 Regulations, standards, guidelines
The locally applicable heating system regulations must
be followed when planning, installing and operating the
gas heat generator:
• The regulations of the local building authorities, insur-
ance companies, chimney sweeps and the state/can-
ton. etc. must also be taken into account.
• The regulations of the responsible gas supply company
are to be complied with if using gas.
• Regulations governing the discharge and treatment of
condensate are subject to the specications of the local
water authorities.
• Approval by the authorities may be required for
installation.
The standards, guidelines and ordinances listed for the
specic countries are relevant for the installation and op-
eration of the gas heat generator. The list is intended as
an aid. It is not complete. The currently applicable regula-
tions must be observed.
