1.1 Scope
This Standard provides specific requirements and test methods for Type 1 and Type 2 decorative effectgas appliances with natural draught or fan assisted combustion systems, with an energy input noexceeding 72 MJ/h.
For Australia, the fuel gases are natural gas (as described by AS 4564), town gas, liquefied petroleugas (LP Gas，as described by AS 4670), simulated natural gas (SNG) and tempered liquefiedpetroleum gas (TLP).
For New Zealand, the fuel gases are natural gas(as specified in NZS5442)and general product liquefiepetroleum gas (NZLPG) (as specified in NZS 5435).
NOTE 1 Space heating appliances are not covered by this Standard but are covered by the requirements oAS/NZS 5263.1.3.
NOTE 2 Indoor flueless appliances are not covered by this Standard.
NOTE 3 Appliances falling within the scope of AS 2658 are not covered by this Standard.
