1. Scope 1.1 This Standard specifies requirements for the performance testing of solid-fuel-burning appliances having an air-fuel ratio averaging less than 35:1 as determined by Clause 14. It prescribes a method for determining heat outputs, appliance efficiencies, emission levels and composition, and flue gas flow rates for solid-fuel-fired appliances. The Standard also specifies maximum emission rates. 1.2 This Standard includes (a) manually and automatically fuelled stoves and fireplace inserts; and (b) factory-built fireplaces with a minimum burn rate less than 5 kg/h. 1.3 This Standard does not include central systems, site-built fireplaces, decorative fireplaces, fireplaces with minimum burn rate above 5.0 kg/h, and cookstoves. 1.4 - Deleted 1.5 For the purpose of this Standard, the term "solid-fuel" includes biomass fuels such as cordwood, chips, sawdust, peat "logs", wood and paper pellets, and kernel corn. It does not include coal.
