Anti-scald tap, valve and shower manufacturer Intatec has called upon the government to bring in extra measures, ensuring that the spirit of upcoming changes to building regulations will be taken seriously by the trade. Additions to building regulations come into force on October 1st and will mean that newly built bathrooms will have to have anti-scald valves fitted to baths, with the intention of preventing some of the 20 deaths and almost 600 serious injuries caused by bathtime scalding each year.
