Champ d’application

1.1 These requirements cover fireplace inserts or hearth-mounted stoves intended for installation into factory-built fireplaces. The appliances are generally installed into factory-built fireplaces that have themselves been installed into combustible constructions, and operated for some time, i.e., the fireplace insert or hearth-mounted stove installations are retrofits. These appliances are designed for burning solid fuels.
1.2 Fireplace inserts or hearth-mounted stoves as covered by this standard are intended for installation in factory-built fireplaces conforming to the requirements of CAN/ULC-S610, Standard for Factory-Built Fireplaces, or UL 127, Standard for Factory-Built Fireplaces. 
1.3 The requirements include testing with a continuous chimney liner from the appliance collar to the point of termination.
1.4 This Standard covers catalytic combustors utilized with the fireplace inserts or hearth-mounted stoves.
1.5 Refer to UL/ULC 1390, Standard for Fireplace Inserts and Hearth-mounted Stoves for masonry fireplaces, for the requirements applicable to appliances intended to be vented through the throat of a masonry fireplace.
1.6 This Standard does not cover free-standing solid-fuel space heaters. Refer to UL 1482, Standard for Solid-Fuel Type Room Heaters, or CAN/ULC-627, Standard for Space Heaters for Use with Solid Fuels, for the applicable requirements.
1.7 The appliances covered by this Standard are intended for installation and use in accordance with the applicable Codes and Regulations as determined by the Authority Having Jurisdiction (AHJ), such as: In accordance with the list requirements 
a) In Canada:
(i) The National Building Code of Canada; and
(ii) CSA B365 Series, Installation code for solid-fuel-burning appliances and equipment;

b) In the United States:
(i) The International Building Codes ; and
(ii) The Standard for Chimneys, Fireplaces, Vents, and Solid Fuel-Burning Appliances, NFPA 211.

1.7 The requirements of this standard do not apply to appliances intended for installation into transportable buildings.
 

Raison d’être du projet

Raison d’être du projet
This standard addresses a gap in consensus requirement coverage for the long-standing industry practice of installing space heaters into factory-built fireplaces as retrofits. UL/ULC 1391 will provide requirements for both USA and Canada, and introduce requirements for zero-clearance construction that address the safety needs of the current installation market.

Le système permet aux organismes d’élaboration de normes (OEN) accrédités par le CCN et aux membres du public d’être informés des nouveaux travaux d’élaboration de normes au Canada. Il donne aussi aux OEN accrédités la possibilité de repérer et de résoudre les cas de doubles emplois éventuels dans les normes et les travaux de normalisation.
