Defra are backing the installation of SIA Ecodesign Ready stoves to reduce emissions from wood burning.
Read on to find out why you should invest in or upgrade to a new cleaner EcoDesign Ready stove now.
SIA Ecodesign Ready stoves are designed to reduce PM emissions by burning wood more efficiently and completely.
The stoves have been independently tested by an approved test laboratory and met the emissions and minimum efficiency criteria for Ecodesign. The test results have also been verified by HETAS and listed on the HETAS web site. Click on the Ecodesign logo to see verified list of SIA Ecodesign Ready stoves on the Hetas web site.
Ecodesign is the European-wide programme to lower emissions. SIA Ecodesign Ready stoves meet the Ecodesign requirements and are available now. The PM emissions limit for Ecodesign is 55% lower than for DEFRA exempt stoves.
Defra are backing the installation of SIA Ecodesign Ready stoves to reduce emissions from wood burning.
In its Clean Air Strategy Defra recognises that all wood burning is not the same and that reductions in particulate emissions, (PM), can be achieved through the installation of Ecodesign Ready stoves burning Ready to Burn logs.
Stove owners and those thinking of buying a new stove can be assured that the government is not seeking to ban wood burning stoves. Instead it wants to ensure that consumers use the cleanest stoves and the cleanest fuel.
The Clean Air Strategy recognises that all wood burning is not the same and that reductions in particulate emissions, (PM), can be achieved through the installation of Ecodesign Ready stoves burning Ready to Burn logs that have a moisture content below 20%.
The government has also recognised that maintenance and the way in which householder operates the stove have a significant part to play in the reduction of emissions.
In order to qualify for the SIA Ecodesign label a stove has to have been independently tested by an approved lab and met the emissions criteria for Ecodesign.
The test results then must be verified by HETAS. The stove will then be listed on the HETAS web site.
SIA Ecodesign Ready stoves meet the DEFRA exemption criteria but the stove must still be tested for DEFRA exemption, in order to be used is a smoke control area.
As it is an SIA sponsored label, it can only be applied to SIA member stoves.
Ecodesign is the European-wide programme to lower emissions. The main manufacturers in the SIA have decided to release stoves that will meet the lower emission limits now, five years early.
Independent tests have shown that an Ecodesign Ready stove produces 90% fewer emissions than an open fire and 84% fewer than a stove of ten years ago.
The Ecodesign Ready scheme is verified by Hetas and supported by DEFRA. The SIA Ecodesign Ready label will set the standard for the most environmentally friendly stoves available today.
The Ecodesign Ready label will clearly inform consumers that the stove will meet the new stringent emission limits.
All Saltfire Stoves models are now EcoDesign Ready:
