The VisionLINE IFS Insulated Flue System is tested to AS/NZS 2918:2018 Domestic solid fuel burning appliances, installation. Testing includes Appendix B and Appendix F requirements for flue systems used with solid fuel appliances up to 15 kW average output.

In relation to the New Zealand Building Code, the system contributes to compliance with:

• Clause B2 Durability, stainless steel 304 construction and ceramic insulation suitable for long term residential exposure
• Clause C Protection from Fire, by maintaining tested clearances to combustible materials and providing insulated flue construction
• Clause F2 Hazardous Building Materials, stainless steel and ceramic fibre insulation used in accordance with tested applications
• Clause H1 Energy Efficiency, indirectly by supporting compliant installation of solid fuel heating appliances

Compliance claims are based on testing to AS/NZS 2918:2018 and manufacturer documentation.

The VisionLINE IFS system has been tested under AS/NZS 2918:2018 and supplied for residential solid fuel installations in Australia and New Zealand since at least 2018.
