1. Scope
1.1
This Standard specifies
(a) requirements for the performance testing of solidappliances having an air-fuel ratio averaging less than 35:1 as determined by Clause 16; and
(b) maximum emission rates.
1.2
This Standard specifies a method for determining
(a) heat outputs;
(b) appliance efficiencies;
(c) emission levels and composition; and
(d) flue gas flow rates.
1.3
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).
1.4
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.
1.5
This Standard does not apply to
(a) site-built masonry fireplaces;
(b) site-built masonry heaters;
() decorative fireplaces; or
(d) fireplaces with a minimum burn rate above 5.0 kg/h.
1.6
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.
