18.5.2.2, 19.5.2.2

This regulation specifies life safety requirements for heating devices (other than central heating plants) in licensed facilities, requiring that combustible materials cannot be ignited by the device, that a safety shutoff feature is present for excessive temperature or ignition failure, and that fuel-fired devices are chimney/vent connected, draw combustion air from outside, and maintain a combustion system separate from occupied areas. This is a CMS Life Safety Code (2012 LSC) physical plant/environment of care standard applied during facility surveys.
