Gas Fire In Bedroom-Classify AR or ID??

[Trouble666]

I've only qualified in May, so bear with me; Under the Gas Regs, as far as I know, a fire can only be installed in a bedroom with an ASD; Now, if a 20 year old fire is installed, with no probs at all, am I right in saying it's AR?

Cheers

Its AR if its in a bedroom unless fitted before 1995 and has an ASD....or something along those lines.

Above true if non room sealed and subject to size conditions.

If the fire was installed prior to January 1st 1996 then provided it is working ok it is NCS. After January 1st 1996 then it is AR

What do NCS and AR stand for please? I've searched everywhere and can't find a sensible answer.

NCS = Not to Current Standards
AR = At Risk (It MIGHT pose a risk to life or property at some time in future)
ID = Immediatly Dangerous ( IS a risk to life or property NOW)

Thanks Alan, and what is ASD? We have gas fires installed in bedrooms. They are inspected (and passed) every year but one of them now needs replacing. I am trying to determine the legality of this.

Atmospher sensing device......safety feature to shut off gas valve in the event of oxygen depletion.....and CO being produced!!

Yes Why

Sometimes having secret discussions is detrimental to Gas safety.
