International Fireplace Safety & Regulatory Compliance
Understanding the safety requirements for your country
Fireplace regulations differ between countries. These regulations are designed to ensure that fireplaces are manufactured, installed and operated safely.
They may cover important areas such as:
Fire safety and safe distances from combustible materials.
Chimney construction, flue systems and smoke evacuation.
Ventilation and combustion air requirements.
Emissions and environmental performance.
Structural safety, particularly for ceiling-mounted fireplaces.
Installation procedures and local building approvals.
Product testing, technical documentation and certification requirements.
Our international compliance guide explains the principal standards and regulatory frameworks relevant to fireplace installations across the markets we serve.
United Kingdom
Fireplace installations are subject to applicable UK building regulations, including requirements for combustion appliances, chimneys, ventilation, fire protection and structural safety. Relevant British Standards and installation guidance must also be considered.
United States
Applicable requirements include NFPA 211, relevant UL product standards, local building and fire codes, and environmental regulations. Requirements depend on the fireplace model, fuel type and installation location.
Canada
Canadian installations may be subject to CSA standards, CAN/ULC product requirements, the National Building Code of Canada and applicable provincial or municipal regulations.
Australia
Relevant requirements may include AS/NZS 2918, AS/NZS 4012 and AS/NZS 4013 for applicable solid-fuel appliances, together with local building and installation requirements.
Switzerland
Fireplace installations must account for applicable cantonal and municipal regulations, VKF/AEAI fire-protection requirements and relevant emissions rules.
Austria
Applicable Austrian building regulations, ÖNORM standards, chimney requirements and regional installation rules must be considered.
Greece
Installations must satisfy applicable Greek building, fire-safety and ventilation requirements, together with relevant European product standards.
United Arab Emirates
Requirements may include the UAE Fire and Life Safety Code of Practice, local Civil Defence approvals and applicable building and ventilation regulations.
European Union
We supply customers throughout Europe, including Germany, France, Italy, Spain, Portugal, the Netherlands, Belgium, Luxembourg, Ireland, Denmark, Sweden, Finland, Poland, Czechia, Slovakia, Hungary, Romania, Bulgaria, Croatia, Slovenia, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Malta and Cyprus, as well as Austria and Greece.

Individual countries may also impose additional requirements. For example:
Germany: DIN 18896, applicable 1. BImSchV requirements, chimney regulations and local chimney-sweep acceptance.
France: NF DTU 24.1, applicable fire-safety provisions and national installation requirements.
Italy: UNI 10683, applicable emissions rules and installer documentation.
Other EU countries: Relevant European product standards alongside national building, fire-safety and installation rules.
The exact requirements depend on the fireplace model, its fuel system and the property in which it will be installed.

GLOBAL FIREPLACE REGULATIONS & COMPLIANCE GUIDE
This illustrated guide provides an overview of the international regulatory frameworks and key safety considerations associated with fireplace installations.
Important: The guide is intended as general regulatory information. Product-specific conformity, certification and installation approval must be established using the applicable technical evidence and local requirements.
Fireplace Compliance Documentation & Technical Reports
Technical information for informed purchasing and installation
We recognise the importance of making relevant technical information available to customers, architects, designers and professional installers.
Our fireplace documentation includes information relating to product construction, applicable testing criteria, safety clearances and installation considerations.
What does the compliance report cover?
The downloadable document includes information for the specified solid-fuel suspended fireplace models, including:
- Product construction and materials.
- Firebox, baffle and flue specifications.
- Applicable North American product standards.
- Clearance and floor-protection information.
- Installation considerations for the United States and Canada.
- A separate European installation and regulatory information appendix.
- Additional requirements relating to Germany, France, Italy and Switzerland.
The original North American listing identifies UL 1482:2011 and CAN/ULC S627 (2023) as applicable criteria for the listed models.
The European appendix provides supplementary guidance about the evidence and installation checks required in European markets.
Customers, architects and professional installers may consult this document when reviewing the listed fireplace models.
Please note: This original report applies to the models identified in the document. The European appendix is seller-issued guidance, not an independent European certification. The report must not be treated as blanket approval for every fireplace in our collection or every installation location.
For technical information relating to a particular model, please contact our team before ordering on Whatsapp or email us at [email protected]
Every property is different. Your fireplace should be designed around your space.
Custom Fireplace Measurements & Installation Planning
Our suspended fireplaces can be customised according to the customer's room configuration, ceiling height, installation position and design preferences. To help us prepare an accurate quotation and suitable fireplace configuration, we request several measurements and property details before manufacturing.
Step 1
Measure Your Room Height
Measure the total distance from the finished floor to the ceiling.
For a straight ceiling, one floor-to-ceiling measurement is generally sufficient for the initial assessment.
For a sloping ceiling, provide the floor-to-ceiling height at both the lowest and highest points of the intended installation area.
These measurements help us understand the available vertical space and plan the fireplace's overall proportions.
Step 2
Choose Your Preferred Fireplace Height
Tell us how high you would like the bottom of the suspended fireplace hood to sit above the finished floor.
This allows us to calculate the required hanging position and the approximate visible suspension length.
The final installation height must also satisfy applicable safety and clearance requirements.
Step 3
Determine the Suspension Pipe Length
The visible pipe length is calculated using the ceiling height and the selected fireplace position, allowing for the fireplace's actual dimensions and connection details.
We can assist with this calculation once we receive your measurements.
Step 4
Confirm Your Ceiling Construction
Please tell us what type of ceiling you have:
Concrete
Timber
Steel structure
Another construction type
Suspended fireplaces require appropriate structural support. The ceiling construction and fixing arrangement must be assessed by a suitably qualified professional.
Step 5
Provide Roof and Chimney Information
For fireplaces requiring a chimney or flue, we may need details about your roof construction, roof pitch, chimney route and proposed outlet location.
This information helps determine the appropriate flue configuration and any additional installation considerations.
Step 6
Check Safety Clearances
Adequate separation from walls, furniture, ceilings and combustible materials is essential.
The required distances depend on the fireplace model, fuel type, flue arrangement and applicable local regulations.
Our team can provide relevant product information for review by your installer.
Step 7
Confirm Ventilation Requirements
Fireplaces that burn wood or other combustible fuels require an appropriate combustion-air supply and safe exhaust arrangement.
Ventilation requirements must be assessed for the individual property and appliance.
Step 8
Share Photographs of Your Room
We strongly recommend sending clear photographs of the proposed installation area.
Photographs help us understand the room layout, ceiling construction, surrounding furniture and any obstacles that may affect the fireplace configuration.
Our illustrated guide explains the measurements and property details needed before ordering a suspended fireplace.
Once we receive your information, our team can review your requirements and prepare a personalised quotation.
Professional installation: Fireplaces must be installed and commissioned by suitably qualified professionals in accordance with applicable regulations and the requirements of the exact appliance.
Our team is here to help you plan your fireplace purchase.
