If carried out as part of the installation, any electrical isolation, wiring, controls, etc, required for the heat emitter shall be installed and tested as set out in BESCA standard TS.13. Locally mounted thermostats and/or programmers shall be correctly sited and set at the required temperature. Leakage checks, and where required pressure tests, shall be carried out on underfloor systems when the system is completed, but before any screed or other coverings are laid. Leakage checks, and where required pressure tests on other emitters, shall be carried out when the installation is complete. This is shall be done as set out in BESCA standard TS.5.8. The heat emitters shall be set to work and shall be commissioned as part of the overall system. This is shall be done as set out in BESCA standard TS.3.

TS 6.11 Heat emitters (electrical) [including trace heating] Electricity at Work Regulations 1989 as amended. Electricity Safety, Quality and Continuity Regulations 2002 as amended. IET Guidance Notes No s 1 to 7 and On-Site Guide Manufacturer s instructions A heat emitter may be an electric warm air systems, electric panel heaters, electric storage systems including integrated storage/direct systems, electric under-floor heating, or trace heating tape (portable, plug-in appliances are not covered by this scheme). The emitter shall be constructed, suitably enclosed and separated by appropriate distances to provide protection against electric shock, fire, burns, and the effects on the installation of overload current, fault current and under-voltage. The installation of the equipment shall be fixed, using the correct fixings, and in accordance with relevant regulations and manufacturer s instructions. Where the emitter shall be mounted near the floor, the minimum height clearance that shall be required by the manufacturer or the designer shall be adhered to. The fixed electrical installation serving the heat emitter shall comply with BS 7671- Requirements for electrical installation, and if carried out as part of the installation, BESCA standard TS.13. The emitter and electrical installation shall be capable of being controlled properly and be able to be operated safely, in order to protect persons operating, maintaining or altering the installation from injury. Controls shall comply with the requirements set out in Part L of the Building Regulations, including the applicable, General Guidance and Compliance Guides; and shall meet the requirements set out in BESCA standard TS.14.1. Locally mounted thermostats and/or programmers shall be correctly sited and set at the required temperature. The heat emitters shall be set to work and shall be commissioned as part of the overall system. This is shall be done as set out in BESCA standard TS.3. Pipework that is trace heated shall be insulated to reduce heat loss, and have coloured bands (in accordance with BS 1710) applied to identify it. Thermal insulation is installed to BESCA standard TS.5.9. BESCA Assessment schedulets.6 May 2018 page 11 of 11
