<p>The testing and registration of new models of boiler by the Buildings Research
Establishment (BRE) is not part of compliance with the Boiler Plus regulations.</p><p>In
order to comply with the Boiler Plus regulations, the boiler unit must meet Energy-related
Products (ErP) standards with a minimum ErP efficiency of 92%. Compliance is carried
out by Notified Bodies, as defined by EU Directive 92/42/EEC: Hot Water Boilers. A
list of Notified Bodies can be found at the following URL: <a href="https://eur02.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fec.europa.eu%2Fgrowth%2Ftools-databases%2Fnando%2Findex.cfm%3Ffuseaction%3Ddirective.print%26refe_cd%3D92%252F42%252FEEC&data=02%7C01%7CRosalyn.Tandy%40beis.gov.uk%7C6619f9a1216a41569f5d08d6e8c8cd56%7Ccbac700502c143ebb497e6492d1b2dd8%7C0%7C0%7C636952346463943182&sdata=gssTJ8R70WjIZLq8bys1I8226ZrXkxW4OvQngs%2BMl1Y%3D&reserved=0"

BRE maintains the Standard Assessment Procedure (SAP) for the energy performance of
homes. For the purposes of SAP, boiler efficiency values are derived using a calculation
known as Seasonal Efficiency of Domestic Boilers in the UK (SEDBUK). This is the value
that is recorded by BRE in the Product Characteristics Database.</p>
