Building regulation G3 states that the discharge from the pressure relief on an unvented cylinder needs to go to an external waste, what date did this come into force for?

Within 100mm of finished floor, not too sure about returning to wall, internally it can go to waste through hepvo but we were told to ok it first with building control. Didn't really understand that bit though because if it's in the regs to do that why do you need to check with building control?
is the consultant qualified to correctly specify unvented controls and safety devices
Thanks for all responses, even the sarcastic one at the start..!! Just trying to get different opinions from a consultants badly specified drawing.[/
Wasn't trying to be sarcastic just thought you might have been a student looking form easy answers - my bad!
My understanding is the discharge point can be at high or low level but offer no danger to anyone.
It can be fed into the soil but only with local authority approval.
If possible has to be visible at tundish and termination point.
Pipework has to be sized to carry full bore release away without backing up

should say "or"
Thanks. Aware of all that. Just that I have an install where consult says to go onto existing discharge point but it's not correct. Can't get correct drop and discharge doesn't terminate to safe place, therefore just thinking about what date regs came in as original instal wrong.
should say "or"
My book says "have discharges visible at both tundish and final point of discharge, unless practically difficult".
Maybe this has changed now?
