Keep up to date with compliance on the latest requirements to help prevent fires and better ensure safer operation of fuel-burning appliances.

Help prevent fires and better protect people by referencing requirements for the design, installation, maintenance, and inspection of chimneys, fireplaces, venting systems, and other appliances that burn solid fuels. NFPA 211, Standard for Chimneys, Fireplaces, Vents, and Solid Fuel-Burning Appliances, covers topics such as flue size, chimney height, clearance from combustible materials, and the use of proper materials to ensure the safety and proper operation of these systems.

This standard focuses on the safe removal of waste gases; the reduction of fire hazards associated with the construction and installation of chimneys, fireplaces, and venting systems for residential, commercial, and industrial appliances; and the proper installation of solid fuel–burning appliances.
