Detailed recommendations are contained in the following

National Standards Codes Of Practice: B.S. 6172/ B.S. 5440,

Part 2 and B.S. 6891 Current Editions.

The hob should not be installed in a bed sitting room with

a volume of less than 20 m3. If it is installed in a room of

volume less than 5 m3 an air vent of effective area of 110

cm2 is required. If it is installed in a room of volume betw een

5 m3 and 10 m3 an air vent of effective area of 50 cm2 is

required, while if the volume exceeds 11 m3 no air vent is

required. However, if the room has a door which opens

directly to the outside no air vent is required even if the

volume is between 5 m3 and 11 m3. If there are other fuel

burning appliances in the same room, B.S. 5440 Part 2

Current Edition, should be consulted to determine the re-

quisite air vent requirements.
