Frequently asked questions about CD/14

When is a CD/14 issued?
An OFTEC technician issues a CD/14 when they find an oil appliance or installation that is an immediate risk (IR) or a potential risk (PR). Where something does not meet current standards but is not unsafe, it is recorded as advice in the recommendations rather than as IR or PR.
What is the difference between IR and PR?
These are the two marks on the OFTEC CD/14. IR, immediate risk, is to be put right before the equipment is used. PR, potential risk, is to be put right urgently. Oil does not use the gas classes Immediately Dangerous (ID) and At Risk (AR).
