He can, but he's not entitled to.3 questions:
1. Can he issue a warning notice and turn off my boiler for this "fault"?
Neither, since this isn't covered in the GS(IU)R. The regulations that matter here are The Building Regulations:2. Do the MI's or the GSIUR take precedence here?
The Government said:G3
...
there shall be precautions—
(a) to prevent the temperature of stored water at any time exceeding 100°C; and
(b) to ensure that the hot water discharged from safety devices is safely conveyed to where it is visible but will not cause danger to persons in or about the building.
The Building Regulations (and the GS(IU)R) take precedence over all non-legislative documents. You should treat with the utmost suspicion the professional opinion of anyone who says differently.

Yes.3. Can I ignore this notice if I can determine that it is invalid.
You're welcome.Thanks.
