Been redoing the waste in my kitchen as part of a refurbishment and have just realized that the condensate from the boiler (Worcester Bosh Greenstar 28i Junior) currently drains directly into the kitchen waste downstream of the sink trap without any trap of it's own. Is this correct or should there be a trap between the boilers condensate and the waste pipe?
 
There is a trap inside ( most ) boilers and a second one is not normally needed!

That assumes the drain is to a drain at atmosphere pressure and not subject to suction when a toilet is flushed or a bath is drained.
