Division Stability

Unintentional movement or tilting of alcohol-powered flueless fireplaces during operation must not compromise safety.

Appliances on wheels shall be fitted with easy to operate lockable brakes.

Free-standing alcohol-powered flueless fireplaces shall be fitted with supports to prevent them from overturning and be subject to testing of their stability on impact. If the fireplace does not pass this test it shall be built in such a way that it remains safe at all times.

Fixed appliances shall also be subject to testing of their stability on impact. Wall hooks shall be built in such a way as to prevent the appliance being lifted off the hooks if unintentionally pushed upwards.
