The regulations for servicing biomass boilers accredited to the RHI (Renewable Heat Incentive Scheme) have changed from 1st April 2022. Biomass boilers must now be serviced by an approved HETAS engineer and they must meet the HETAS 030 Biomass Maintenance Standard.
What is HETAS?
HETAS is a non-profit organisation which is committed to helping people make cleaner and safer choices in the use of biomass and other solid fuels and technologies.
What is the HETAS 030 biomass maintenance standard?
This is a new registration scheme from HETAS has been launched to demonstrate competency in the servicing and maintenance of domestic and commercial biomass appliances. It follows research by the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy (BEIS) which acknowledge that poorly maintained appliances emit particulates that damage air quality, and that a lack of operator knowledge and maintenance are one of the primary reasons for increased emissions. The new scheme recognises competent maintenance businesses and raises the importance of burning the correct fuels.
