AS/NZS 4013:2014 PDF Download

Guidelines for measuring the particulate emissions from batch-fed residential solid fuel burning appliances are provided by the AS/NZS 4013:2014 standard. This standard's major goals are to establish acceptance standards and calculate the particulate emission factor.

The test procedure that should be used to measure the particle emissions from these appliances is specifically described in the standard. It focuses on batch-fed appliances, such as fireplaces, wood stoves, and other similar fixtures frequently found in home settings. This standard provides a consistent and accurate measurement of particle emissions by employing a standardized testing process.

Determining the particulate emission factor, which measures the quantity of particulate matter released into the atmosphere during combustion, is a crucial element of the standard. This metric is crucial for determining how household solid fuel-burning appliances affect the environment. The standard also specifies acceptance criteria that specify the highest permissible level of particle emissions that these appliances are permitted to emit.
