I missed the question but my spirit stoves boats both had a BSS. It wasn’t tested as a party of it.

Hi M, reference this table, the q was why / how the spirit stove complied with regulation 26…:

So maybe the regs have changed since your boats were assessed?

Congratulations - looks ideal for exploring the Daucleddau above the bridge and for trips within the haven in good weather.
Did you enquire about moorings at Lawrenny?
Seems a shame to travel all the way to the Severn / Avon when the haven is so close.
PS the Severn is a bit boring as the level is not controlled so you are frequently constrained by tall banks (can't see anything) and low water levels in summer. Avon is prettier as the levels above Tewksbury are controlled, just have the locks.

Thanks for your reply Tico, never realised that about the Severn. I want it at Neyland,we are on the list, in fact I'm working at the power station in Pembroke and have been looking at the Haven and it looks ideal so once our space comes up in Neyland will defo move her, we was planning once I get more experience of going up the coast at Aberystwyth and even North Wales and then the other way to the Bristol Channel, I want to get out sea fishing on her but think I better do my Navigation first, got my VHF SRC course at New Quay Yacht Club booked for 30th Sep and will try and squeeze in RYS pb 2 with Rudders depending on work, so getting there slowly, just wish a space in Neyland would appear by magic lol.
I tried Lawrenny and full again sadly

Re reading this and seeing advice given to people on a narrow boat forum as my cooker was installed before the 2000 cut off it may be ok, watch me get the miserable anal bss examiner lol

Others will know better, but if the cooker has a thermocouple on each burner, is this the no flame safe?
Edit: if you have to keep the control knob pressed down until enough heat generated to release it

Yup. That's OK, satisfies requirement 27.
It's the Q about the liquid-fuelled spirit stove needing a remote emergency shutoff per 26 in these regs:
