New Building Regulations for England/Wales and Scotland require that a Chimney Data Plate must be placed in a prominent position giving information on any chimney that is constructed or worked upon.

As there are differences in the Regulations for England/Wales and those for Scotland, NACE have developed a Chimney Data Plate which satisfies both sets of requirements. NACE has also developed a national database to record the use of any Chimney Data Plates supplied to its members, each Chimney Data Plate being sequentially numbered and unique. The plate will detail:

• Address of the property.
• Location of the hearth and chimney (which room).
• Type of appliance or fuel the chimney is suitable for.
• Type of chimney liner (manufacturer & model name) & diameter.
• Whether or not it can be used with an appliance that has a condensing mode.
• Date of installation.
• National Flue Registration Number (unique number).
• NACE membership number.
• Length of any guarantee issued with the lining.
• Company details.
