elchi reports that Minister of Energy Parviz Shahbazov has signed a decision regarding this matter.
According to the decision, requirements for the installation of boiler plants have been established:
– boiler plants must be installed in compliance with construction design documents and the requirements of urban planning and construction standards;
– boiler rooms must meet fire and explosion safety requirements, as well as the requirements of sanitary rules and standards;
– boiler plants must be installed taking into account the technical requirements of the manufacturer, and the equipment and materials used must meet the requirements stipulated in the project;
– safety measures must be taken and tightness tests must be conducted before commissioning the boiler plants.
Also, the requirements for the installation of gas-air ducts and smoke stacks are as follows:
