the water pipes will not be subjected to frost conditions. In siting the combination boiler the following
limitations must be observed:
The combination boiler may be installed in any room or internal space, although particular attention
is drawn to the requirements of the current, i.e. wiring regulations and in Scotland the electrical provisions
of the building regulations applicable in Scotland, with respect to the installation of the combination boiler in

or appliance control utilising mains electricity, should be so situated that it cannot be touched by a person
using the bath or shower.
