scope:

This Standard specifies

(a) requirements for the performance testing of solid-fuel-burning appliances having an air-fuel ratio averaging less than 35:1 as determined by Clause 16; and

(b) maximum emission rates.

This Standard specifies a method for determining

(a) heat outputs;

(b) appliance efficiencies;

(c) emission levels and composition; and

(d) flue gas flow rates.

This Standard applies to

(a) manually and automatically fuelled stoves and fireplace inserts;

(b) factory-built fireplaces with a minimum burn rate less than 5 kg/h; and

(c) furnaces and boilers with outputs up to 2 MW (6.83 million Btu/h) designed to have the useful heat produced by the appliance conveyed to areas remote from the appliance by ducting or plumbing.

For the purpose of this Standard, solid-fuel-burning appliances include manually and automatically fuelled systems (including add-ons and combinations).

For the purpose of this Standard, the term "solid fuel" includes biomass fuels such as

(a) cordwood;

(b) wood chips;

(c) sawdust;

(d) peat logs;

(e) wood and paper pellets; and

(f) kernel corn.

The term "solid fuel" does not include coal.

This Standard does not apply to

(a) site-built masonry fireplaces;

(b) site-built masonry heaters;

(c) decorative fireplaces; or

(d) fireplaces with a minimum burn rate above 5.0 kg/h.

This Standard is written in SI (metric) units, with equivalent yard/pound units in parentheses. If a value for measurement as given in this Standard is followed by an equivalent value in other units, the first stated is to be regarded as the requirement.
