16、sional and performance requirements for inset or freestanding open fires giving space heating by convection in addition to radiation and designed to burn solid mineral fuels (i.e.bituminous coal, Welsh dry steam coal, anthracite or manufactured fuels derived from these coals). NOTEThis standard does
17、 not apply to inset open fires without convection (seeBS4834). The standard covers appliances of nominal widths350mm,400mm,450mm,500mm and550mm designed for use either with fireplace components specified in BS1251 or with special fireplace components or boilers supplied with the appliance. The essen
18、tial components of appliances covered by this standard are the firefront, bottomgrate, ashpit cover, ashpan, means of primary air control and a convection chamber. Specified optional features may comprise a deepening bar, deepening plate, front firebars, undergrate gas igniter, boiler and throat res
19、trictor. Fan(s) may be incorporated for supplying combustion air and/or convection air. Appliances are designated as either intermittent or overnight. 1.2 References 1.2.1 Normative references This British Standard incorporates, by dated or undated reference, provisions from other publications.
