Regs for siting a boiler

Does anyone know if there are there any rules for positioning a gas boiler in relation to distance from a window and distance from a gas hob?

Yes there are quite stringent regulations but I'm not sure what the exact requirements are at the moment.
I'm in the middle of getting building reg approval for moving my boiler and the council were very strict on stuff.
Try your manufacturer's website, that's where I got information from for mine.0 -
Yes,MRF, as Zeb says the regs are concerned with the flue not re-entering the house via another appliance or gathering in the eves of a house.
I got the rules from the boiler specifications booklet, and one thing I had to do was cover a plastic facia/soffit against possible heat, and what looks like a perfectly adequate guard has to have a guard over that.0
