Evaluation Method

This PEV represents the results of an evaluation on free standing stove models listed in object when compared to
the previously tested Solution 3.5 Stove as mentioned in appendix.
The Models listed in subject are stove models manufactured based on the construction of the Solution 3.5. The
combustion room of all the mentioned units are identical so is their combustion air intake.
The variations are esthetical only and they are as follows:

The loading door differs by shape;

The façade differs by shape;

The pedestal or leg differs by shape and materials;

The decorative side panels differ by shape.
This investigation was authorized by SBI in February 2019. Drawings number DB03129-V01; DB07300-V01;
OB03500-V01; SF00615-V01 and EB00053_CERTIF were received on February 5th, 2019 at the Intertek Lachine
facility. These drawings can be found in appendix.
The Models mentioned in Subject share similar features and are designed after an EPA certified wood burning
stove Model Solution 3.5.
Design drawings were evaluated to determine similarities between the above-mentioned models. Drawings show
internal fire box size to be the same at 17 7/8" deep, 12 3/16" high (from brick to higher tube) and 22 13/16" wide.
All appliances share a 6" flue collar and have the same primary air intake controls.
Differences noted during this evaluation were on the door shape, pedestal, legs, decorative side panels as well as
the typical look of the façade of all units inspired by their typical branding look.

Conclusion

Intertek has conducted this product evaluation for Stove Builder International, on Escape 2100, HT-3000, Gateway
3500 and Osburn 3500, to evaluate if the differences with the previously certified Solution 3.5 are likely to increase
particulate matter emission rate limit. The evaluation was conducted to determine if items listed in U.S.
Environmental Protection Agency 40 CFR Part 60 Standards of Performance for New Residential Wood Heaters;
Final Rule, SECTION 60.533(k) will show equivalency with the previously tested Solution 3.5 Stove.
