Question to the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy:

To ask Her Majesty's Government what assessment they have made of the Building Regulations Establishments research finding that no boilers sold in the UK meet the minimum Energy Related Products efficiency requirement of 92 per cent as legislated for since the beginning of April under Boiler Plus.

We do not recognise this claim, and BRE have confirmed that they do not agree with, and have never stated that, “no boilers sold in the UK meet the minimum ErP efficiency requirements of 92 per cent as legislated for”.

I can confirm that when the standards were set the majority of boilers on the market met or exceeded this minimum efficiency requirement. Since coming into force, all boilers installed in England must meet this standard.
