Trials are progressing to investigate the suitability of Hydrogen as a replacement for natural gas. Initially Hydrogen will be blended with natural gas in the ratio of 20% Hydrogen and 80% natural gas and it will not have any impact on ventilation requirements, however, 100% Hydrogen is also being trialled and will no doubt be introduced in some parts of the country within a few years.

Technical Guidance Document #018
The Regulatory Reform Act loosely referred to as the Fire Reform Order is a statutory (Legally binding) regulation. Scotland and Northern Ireland have their own fire safety legislation.
This is intended to move the point of responsibility from the Local Fire Brigade to the operator (not necessarily the owner) of the restaurant, shop, etc., requiring him / her to produce a Fire Risk Assessment (FRA) for the premises.
Heavy fines and, in some extreme cases, custodial sentences have already been served on operators who fail to observe and comply with this requirement.
This FRA will invariably require a fire suppression system if, for example, there is a deep fat fryer involved.

This document covers what the Gas Regulations say about maintenance.
The ceda Technical Steering Group has been concerned for some time about a lack of clarity in the gas regulations relating to regular maintenance of catering equipment and has therefore introduced a new initiative to help members understand the regulations and more importantly to help them explain them to their customers to both ensure a safe working environment and generate income for members.
