Part J of the Building Regulations, which deals with Heat Producing Appliances, and the accompanying Technical Guidance Document (TDG J), is currently being reviewed by my Department in conjunction with the Building Regulations Advisory Body (BRAB). When the review is completed, the BRAB will advise me of its recommendations in relation to amending the Part J requirement and the technical guidance. Any proposed changes will be subjected to a rigorous Regulatory Impact Analysis and a full public consultation before the matter is finally decided.
