Frequently asked questions about wood-burning fireplace stoves
Wood burning fireplace stoves that were installed after March 22, 2010 must prove through the manufacturer's type test that they meet the requirements for emission limit values and minimum efficiency. The requirements of the BImSchG level one apply until January 31, 2014: Less than 2000 mg / m³ CO, less than 75 mg / m³ fine dust and an efficiency of more than 73 percent. From 01/01/2015, level two will apply: Less than 1250 mg / m³ CO, less than 40 mg / m³ with an efficiency of more than 73 percent. As a rule, modern stoves already meet the requirements of level two! https://masterfireplaces.in/how-to-use-a-wood-burning-fireplace-properly/
