PART J CHECKLIST

Approved Document J to the Building Regulations places responsibilities on a person who carries out work related to combustion installations. These responsibilities include ensuring that materials and components which are appropriate for the intended application are used, and carrying out appropriate inspections and tests to ensure the safe operation of the appliance as part of the commissioning procedure. Further guidance on such testing is contained in Appendix E to the Approved Document.

This checklist can help you to ensure that the installations are satisfactory. Completed copies should be offered to your client and the Building Control Authority to demonstrate that the work that you have carried out complies with the requirements of Part J. Use one checklist for each hearth, fireplace, flue or chimney. Guidance on completion of this checklist can be found in Appendix A to Approved Document J.
