With the accreditation of the RRF body through the DAkkS our approval tests of the relevant standards NS 3058-1, -2, -3 and NS 3059 for Norway are acknowledged. So we have been included in the small circle of bodies, which may check for Norway as well as the Nordic Ecolabel (Nordic Swan).
In Great Britain because of the DEFRA (Department for Environment, Food & Rural Affairs) there have been established smoke control areas. In order to be allowed to operate there solid fuel fireplaces, separate emission requirements have been established with reference to solids (particles) in the flue gas. The test methods are listed in the application pack ”Appliance Exemption from section 21 of the Clean Air Act 1993“. The tests in our body will be acknowledged by the Ricardo-AEA´s smoke control team.
