What is the fuel source? Propane, Oil, Natural Gas......... Installation codes differ from liquid, vapor or solid fuels. I assume you want NFPA 54 for gas, posting in this forum; You need to look up the installation in the correct "Standard" written by NFPA. Local government can make codes stricter, so you need to consult with them as well. Any fuel burning appliance requires combustion air, so installing in an enclosure requires proper venting. Fumes from what? Boilers in basements are inside the building and should not emit any fumes when exhausted (vented) properly.
A CO detector in the same room as appliance will show the deadly gasses in the air to be concerned with.
