(2) Ovens, geysers, gas-rings or other gas appliances shall not be installed except in positions or rooms specially approved by the licensing authority. If installed, they shall be mounted upon approved incombustible material and, unless the licensing authority agrees otherwise, shall be connected to the supply by rigid piping. Rubber or soft metal tubing shall not be provided. Gas irons shall not be provided except with the consent in writing of the licensing authority, and in accordance with any condition of such consent.

Ventilation and cooling
108. (1) Means of ventilation capable of providing a supply of outdoor air at the minimum rate of 30 m3 per occupant per hour shall be installed at premises. The ventilation shall be effected by means of mechanical plant capable of giving a positive supply and shall be supplemented, if so required by the Building Authority, by a mechanical means of exhaust ventilation:
Provided that in certain cases a positive supply shall not be required if the Building Authority is satisfied that the standard of ventilation prescribed by this regulation can be maintained by natural means or by means of a mechanical exhaust system.
(2) The entering air shall be so distributed that all occupied parts of the structure, including entrance vestibules, waiting spaces and refreshment saloons, are reached and the vitiated air effectually displaced.
(3) The condition of the air shall not be regarded as satisfactory if the amount of carbon dioxide in occupied portions of premises, taken at a level of 1 m to 2 m above the floor level, exceeds 10 parts in 10,000.
109. When a cooling plant is installed the machinery in connexion therewith shall be contained in a room ventilated to external atmosphere and provided with fire-resisting partitions and doors.
110. The inlet and outlet gratings, openings, ducts and fans shall be so placed, and of such size, that no objectionable draughts are caused.
111. When air ducts and shafts are constructed of material other than metal they shall be formed of or lined with a suitable smooth material impervious to moisture. All ducts shall have adequate means of access for cleaning purposes.
