The purpose of BS 7593 is to ensure awareness of potential problems, and of the remedies required to maintain efficiency and maximize the life of the hot water central heating system.
The standard also gives guidance on the preparation of the primary circuit of wet central heating systems prior to initial commissioning or re-commissioning following major remedial work (e.g. boiler replacement) and ongoing water treatment to ensure continued efficiency in operation.
Although intended to cover domestic systems with up to 45 kW heat input, it is recognized that the recommendations are also applicable to similar systems of higher heat output.
BS 7593:2006 supersedes BS 7593:1992 which will be withdrawn.
