| Part G: Hygiene |
| G1. Sanitary
Conveniences And Washing Facilities All buildings are required
to be provided with suitable and sufficient sanitary conveniences
and washing facilities. Food preparation areas must be safeguarded. |
| |
| G2. Bathrooms
Dwellings have to be provided with a bath or shower served by hot
and cold water systems. |
| |
| G3. Hot Water
Storage Traditional hot water storage systems have vent pipes
which discharge over top-up cisterns, usually in the roof space,
for safety. |
| |
| This regulation, however, allows
for pressurised, non-venting storage systems which can be located
anywhere in a dwelling but still deliver water under pressure. However,
if the water gets above 100o centigrade it would turn to steam and
exert great pressure on the storage vessel and an explosion would
occur. Therefore these systems have to be properly designed and
contain pressure, temperature and overflow safety devices. |
