My plumber has used plastic push fit joints within the metre or so distance where copper, not plastic, pipe is recommended on the outflow. Can anyone reassure me that plastic joints are exempt from the rule? Thanks.

Establish the manufacturer of the fittings and ask them. Plus different boiler manufacturers have different ideas on this so ask them too.
 
should not have plastic next to a boiler who ever makes it bad practice diy job at a guess,having said that dont panic probably be ok but not correct way of doing it
 
not supposed to use plastic within 1m as a general rule,having said that i have seen boilers piped completely with plastic with out any visible problems
