amount of heat required to raise the temperature of one pound of water from
fifty-nine degrees Fahrenheit to sixty degrees Fahrenheit at a constant
pressure of one atmosphere.
(3)
"Central heater" means a fuel-burning device designed
to burn wood or wood pellet fuel that warms spaces other than the space where
the device is located, by the distribution of air heated by the furnace through

agricultural activities, such as the tilling of land, the harvesting of crops,
the application of fertilizers, pesticides or herbicides, and grain drying,
which are conducted on a farm.
(6)
"Fireplace" means a wood-burning appliance intended to

appliance is a fireplace if it is in a model line that satisfies one of the
following:
(a)
The model line includes a safety listing under recognized
American or Canadian safety standards, as documented by a permanent label from
a nationally recognized certification body affixed on each unit sold, and that
said safety listing only allows operation of the fireplace with doors fully
open. Operation with any required safety screen satisfies this
requirement.
(b)
The model line has a safety listing that allows
operation with doors closed, has no user-operated controls other than flue or
outside air dampers that can only be adjusted to either a fully closed or fully
opened position, and either of the following are satisfied:
(i)
Appliances are
sold with tempered glass panel doors only (either as standard or optional
equipment).
(ii)

hundred square inches.
(c)
A model line that
is clearly positioned in the marketplace as intended to be used primarily for
aesthetic enjoyment and not as a room heater, as demonstrated by product
literature (including owner's manuals), advertising targeted at the trade or

presumptively a fireplace model line.
The presumption in this paragraph of
this definition can be rebutted by test data from a United States environmental
protection agency-approved test laboratory reviewed by a United States
environmental protection agency-approved third-party certifier that were
generated when operating the appliance with the doors closed, and that
demonstrate an average stack gas carbon dioxide concentration over the duration
of the test run equal to or less than 5.00 per cent and a ratio of the average
stack gas carbon dioxide to the average stack gas carbon monoxide equal to or
greater than 15:1. The stack gas average carbon dioxide and carbon monoxide
concentrations for the test run shall be determined in accordance with the
requirements in CSA B 415.1 -10 (R2015), clause 6.3, using a sampling interval
no greater than one minute. The average stack gas carbon dioxide and carbon
monoxide concentrations for purposes of this determination shall be the average
