(20) “Phase 1 emission level qualified model” is a model of a hydronic heater that achieves an average emission level of 0.60 lbs/million Btu heat input or less for all fuel types listed in the owner’s manual and/or mentioned in marketing/sales materials, as acknowledged by EPA in writing to the manufacturer as part of EPA’s acceptance of the model as a qualified model. (21) “Phase 2 emission level qualified model” is a model of a hydronic heater that achieves an average emissions level of 0.32 lbs/million Btu heat output or less for all fuel types listed in the owner’s manual and/or mentioned in marketing/sales materials, and that did not exceed 18.0 grams/hr of fine particles in any individual test run that was used in the calculation of the average, as acknowledged by EPA in writing to the manufacturer as part of EPA’s acceptance of the model as a qualified model pursuant to the EPA Hydronic Heater Program Phase 2 Partnership Agreement. (22) “Residential structure” has the meaning given that term in ORS 701.005. (23) "Retailer" means a person engaged in the sale of solid fuel burning devices directly to consumers. (24) “Solid fuel burning device” or “device” means a woodstove or any other device that burns wood, coal or other nongaseous or non-liquid fuels for aesthetic, space-heating or water-heating purposes in or for a private residential structure or a commercial establishment and that has a heat output of less than one million British thermal units per hour. Solid fuel burning device does not include: (a) Fireplaces; (b) Antique stoves; (c) Pellet stoves; (d) Masonry heaters; (e) Central, wood-fired furnaces; (f) Saunas; and (g) Boilers providing process heat to a commercial, industrial, or institutional establishment that obtain construction approval under OAR 340-210-0205 through 340-210-0250.
