Joint Oireachtas Committee on Public Service Oversight and Petitions
Central Heating Systems: Regulation of Plumbing Standards
4:00 pm
Ms Sarah Neary:
This is a water supply issue, which would be governed by the Water Services Act. The building regulations deal with functional requirements relating to buildings. For example, in a house, we require that there is a cold water supply and a hot water supply and that there is storage of cold water. They are the kind of functional things that the building regulations would deal with along with preventing the pipes from freezing.
