Abstract
Provides guidance and supplementary information on the Building Regulations Approved Document J (ADJ) during the transitional period in which there is a move away from the current system of using British Standards for specifying and installing chimneys towards one which is based on European Standards mandated under the European Construction Products Directive (CPD). The document is presented in two Parts - Part one provides guidance on the general issues of European standardisation for chimneys, the overall framework of legislation under which this process is taking shape, and outlines the new way of designating chimney products according to the essential performance characteristics. Part two considers the implications for British industry by examining the current ADJ in the light of published and draft European standards for chimneys. Each clause of ADJ has been examined and a comment made where there will be an anticipated change either in fact or in the way in which a provision is referenced.
