Domestic solid fuel burning appliances – Method for determination of flue gas emission

Standard objective is to set out comprehensive specifications and instructions for the appropriate test equipment to determine the flue gas emissions of solid fuel burning appliances.

Results of testing using the described method may be used by consumers when selecting a domestic solid fuel burning appliance, and regulatory bodies when setting allowable emission limits for domestic solid fuel burning appliances.

The test method described in this document enables a comparison of appliance performance in a laboratory setting; however, the results may not reflect performance under uncontrolled real-world conditions.

The major changes in this edition are as follows:

1. The particulate emissions limit has been reduced in Clause 8.1.1.
2. If a Standard is referenced in legislation, the legislative instrument or regulation specifies the date on which the Standard comes into effect. Regulatory authorities have indicated three years as an appropriate transition period from the date of publication for the removal of central heating appliances from the list of excluded appliances list in Clause 1.1. Refer to the relevant regulatory authority for further information.
3. The upper limit for the emission sampling train has been removed in Clause 7.7(e).
