I'm not sure exactly, except that the Australian boiler code is stricter and not just the testing. The advice is that if purchasing from overseas (not just the UK), make sure it is built with a conforming boiler and has the proper documentation. If you want to find out, here's a starting point. https://www.aals.asn.au/ambsc-code-part-1-index-only/ 2 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
