Industry regulations

The storage of fuel oil is strictly controlled in the UK and Ireland.

Tank owners are considered liable in law for any contamination or pollution caused on their or their neighbour’s property. It is therefore vital that the tank complies with legislation.

Environment Agency NetRegs provides free environmental guidance for businesses in the UK and can help you to understand what you need to do to comply with environmental law and protection of the environment.

OFTEC promotes excellence in oil heating and publishes a number of booklets, technical information sheets and easy guides which cover the most frequent queries from consumers, installers and technicians. Balmoral recommends that its products are installed by OFTEC registered technicians.
