The BPec Unvented Hot Water Storage Systems course

offers the training and assessment for the installation

of Unvented Domestic Hot Water Storage Systems. The

courses are designed to meet the training requirements

of the appropriate Building Regulations and Standards.

The training materials in the area of Unvented Domestic

Hot Water Storage Systems consist of two different

manuals, targeting England & Wales and Scotland,

respectively. The Scottish version is very similar to

the English one, however, some regulations differ and

candidates north of the border thus need a separate

training manual.

For England & Wales, the training manual provides an

introduction to and understanding of the requirements

of the Approved Document G3, Part L1 and Part P of the

Building Regulations. For Scotland, the manual is very

similar but references Part J of the Building Standards.

Both training manuals consist of 4 modules covering:

•Unvented systems and their operating principles

•Design and installation

•Maintenance

•Compliance with other Building Regulations

The prerequisite for attending the courses is that

the person holds a recognised trade qualification

or is working towards one (this can include the

C&G 6129 cert) or has evidence of a number of

Bpec & Logic Unvented Hot Water Storage Systems£224.25 inc VAT

years of experience of working in the plumbing or

heating industry.

The training course is very comprehensive and kicks

off with intensive training in the 4 modules, followed

by the completion of three assessments. There is one

practical assessment involved in the course. Candidates

must successfully pass all three assessments in order

to gain the Bpec Unvented Domestic Hot Water Storage

Systems certificate and competency card.

The course is targeting operatives who wish to install

Unvented Domestic Hot Water Storage Systems.

Successful completion of the assessment will allow the

installer to demonstrate their competence in the installation

of Unvented Domestic Hot Water Storage Systems in order

to join a Competent Persons’ Scheme which will allow the

self-certification of installations. If the installer does not

wish to join such a scheme it will demonstrate competency

to the local Building Control department when submitting

Building Control Notices prior to commencing work.

Other courses available, which compliment Unvented

Hot Water are:-

•Bpec water regs

•Bpec building regs

•Bpec Solar hot water installer

•Bpec Part L energy efficiency

•Bpec Ground Source Heat pump installer

•Bpec Underfloor Heating Installer

Water Supply (Water Fittings) Regulations 1999 and Water Byelaws Scotland 2003Regulation 1(2) defines an “approved contractor” as a

person who:

(a) has been approved by the water undertaker for the

area where a water fitting is installed, or, used, or

(b) has been certified as an approved contractor by an

organisation specified in writing by the regulator;

To join a scheme an operative must be competent, have

adequate insurance and be knowledgeable on the Water

Supply (Water Fittings) Regulations 1999 or Water

Byelaws in Scotland.

All the “Approved Contractor” schemes accept the Bpec

Water Regulations Qualification for the purposes of the

knowledge element of the scheme entry criteria. The

Home Information Pack dictates that people wishing

to sell their properties, will also require plumbing

certificates and of course many plumbing works now

overlap into Building Regulations work.

this building regulations course is of much benefit to

new and existing plumbers. Ignorance is no excuse!
