Regulation 8 Aggregation of rated thermal input – existing installations

This regulation applies to a Part B installation that is a regulated facility solely as a result of the aggregation of the net rated thermal input of 2 or more appliances in accordance with paragraph 1A of Section 1.1 of Part 2 of Schedule 1 (interpretation and application of Part B) to the principal Regulations.

A Part B installation that was in operation immediately prior to the coming into force of these Regulations is taken to be an exempt facility for the purposes of regulation 8(2) of the principal Regulations.

Paragraph (2) ceases to apply to a Part B installation (so that it is no longer taken to be an exempt facility) if, after the coming into force of these Regulations, the energy plant of the Part B installation is substantially refurbished.
