Am I reading this correctly?

Our house is 8 years old. We have a utility room off the kitchen, with
the door going out to the back garden (normally shut). The gas boiler
is in there with washing machine etc. No other ventilation.

Have the regs changed in recent years to require a mechanical means of
ventilation then?


Probably. However they are not retrospective.
