Some existing hot water cylinders are heated solely by the use of an immersion heater. Due to a number of high profile scolding incidents which have resulted in fatalities, any new immersion heater must now be compliant with the requirements of BS EN 60335-2-74.
The standard requires that the heater contain:
: An operating thermostat which can be adjusted to user requirements (normally 60-65 degrees celsius).
: An overheat thermostat which is set by the manufacturer to operate at a temperature typically 80 degrees Celsius. The overheat thermostat is of a non self-resetting type meaning that when it activates it must be re-set by the plumber after the fault has been investigated.
An immersion Heater is a relatively cheap component to replace!! So If it’s not to current standards and potentially dangerous, Get it replaced now!
