Description

This British Standard specifies requirements for the design, construction, performance, marking and labelling of freestanding mesh sparkguards intended for use with solid mineral fuel and wood-burning appliances inset within a fireplace surround and hearth in which the top surface of the hearth is level with the bottom of the fire opening. Sparkguards with the minimum dimensions specified in this standard are suitable for fireplace openings up to 470 mm wide.

Requirements for stable location are specified but no requirement for the fixing of a sparkguard is considered necessary.

NOTE. The titles of the publications referred to in this standard are listed on the inside back cover.

Design, construction and performance of guards intended to reduce the probability of sparks from solid fuel fires reaching and igniting nearby combustible material.
