The other problem with NCS is for a newly qualified engineer such as myself. We aren't taught about it. All we are told is it no longer exists and the only terms we now have are AR and ID.

I said the terminology doesn't officially exist so when dealing with unsafe situations you cannot use NCS
And following this chart, I would class the install as AR

..but the flue still falls outside of the minimum requirements. And they are requirements, not recommendations. So when you follow the chart "does a situation exist which may lead to an unsafe situation". In my eyes yes it does. An extremely windy day, could blow POC's back into the opening. So the appliance is at risk and should be turned off until rectified. After all, I don't want to be the "other guy" .
And regarding NCS, in my training, we was told that instead of NCS we now have 2 categories of AR, 1. Where turning the appliance off would remove the risk and 2. Where turning the appliance off wouldn't remove the risk.
From what I can gather, it's to make the warning system clearer for the client. Label something as NCS and the client will take no action, label it as AR and the client will be more likely to act. So as far as I'm aware, when an appliance is non compliant, we fill out a warning notice but we don't attach a label and we don't turn the appliance off.
Found this that will clear up this NCS stuff. Long red box on the side.

I would class this as NCS as if it was AR it would mention in in the GIUSP, only mention is if POC are entering then it is ID.
But if it has no terminal guard and is within 300mm of the boundary to next door then it could be argued to be AR but still not a 100% AR.
@Riley what boiler is it?NCS DOES still exist. You just cannot use it on warning notice. This is basic stuff that has been discussed extensively.
If the hole was 30mm higher/ further away, it would not even be NCS.
A challenge: show me where in the Unsafe Procedure this is AR.
All FFs are 300mm, if that is why you are asking?@Riley what boiler is it?
