Standard: BS 5440-1: 2000 Installation and maintenance of flues and ventilation for gas appliances of rated input not exceeding 70 kW net (1st, 2nd and 3rd family gases). Specification for installation and maintenance of flues Author Agency: BSI
This standard supersedes BS 5440 Part 1: 1990 which has now been withdrawn. This standard specifies the selection, design, installation and maintenance requirements for flue systems which form part of a new or replacement appliance installation for domestic or commercial purposes.
It also specifies requirements for connecting gas appliances to existing flues. It specifies natural and fanned draught flues for appliances which carry the CE mark, utilise 1st, 2nd or 3rd family gases and have rated heat inputs based on net (lower) Calorific Value (CV) not exceeding 70kW. It may also be used for installations of appliances which do not carry the CE mark, eg. Used appliances, where appropriate, and providing the manufacturer's instructions are available.

Standard: BS 5839-1: 1988 Fire detection and alarm systems for buildings. Code of practice for system design, installation and servicing Author Agency: BSI
The systems covered in this part of BS 5839 are referred to as fire alarm systems. BS5839-1 covers systems ranging from simple installations with one or two manual call points, up to complex installations with automatic detectors, manual call points, control and indicating equipment, connection to the public fire service, etc.
It also covers systems capable of providing signals to initiate, in the event of a fire, the operation of ancillary services (such as fixed fire extinguishing systems) and other precautions and actions, but it does not cover the ancillary services themselves.
BS 5839-1 applies only to fire alarm systems in a temperate climate such as that of the United Kingdom.

Standard: BS EN ISO 14001:1996 Environmental management systems. Specification with guidance for use Author Agency: BSI
BS EN ISO 14001: 1996 specifies requirements for an environmental management system, to enable an organization to formulate a policy and objectives taking into account legislative requirements and information about significant environmental impacts. It applies to those environmental aspects which the organization can control and over which it can be expected to have an influence. It does not itself state specific environmental performance criteria.
This standard is applicable to any organization that wishes to
a) implement, maintain and improve an environmental management system;
b) assure itself of its conformance with its stated environmental policy;
c) demonstrate such conformance to others;
d) seek certification/registration of its environmental management system by an external organization;
e) make a self-determination and self-declaration of conformance with this International Standard.
Standard: BS EN ISO 9000: 2000 Quality management systems. Fundamentals and vocabulary Author Agency: BSI

Standard: PD 5304: 2000 Safe use of machinery Author Agency: BSI
Ensuring risks associated with machinery are eliminated or reduced is a taks that requires unremitting and careful attention at all times in the interests of industrial accident prevention.
Following advances in technology and changing domestic legislation together with the publication of a series of harmonised European Standards BS 5304 is now obsolescent and replaced by PD 5304.
PD 5304:
Is a comprehensive reference guide for users of machinery, enforcement authorities and all those concerned with information, instruction and training in a safe working practices.
Identifies the hazards arising from the use of machinery and describes methods to eliminate or reduce these hazards for the safeguarding of machinery and safe working practices.
Is written from a users perspective
Includes extensive cross-referencing of relevant harmonised European, International and British Standards where appropriate.
Provides an integrated set of rules and recommendations for the design, materials selection, fabrication, testing and inspection of vessels for a wide range of process and energy industry applications.
