UL 791

Abstract

These requirements apply to direct-fed incinerators, including those of the gas and electric ignition types, designed primarily for use in one-and two-family dwellings for the burning of ordinary combustible waste materials and garbage incidental to domestic occupancy and having a firebox or charging compartment of not over 5 cubic feet capacity.&#160; <br>Incinerators of this type may also be employed in other occupancies including commercial establishments and institutions where the refuse is of a character for which the incinerator is designed and is not excessive in amount. They are not intended for use in spaces in which flammable vapor or gases may be present.&#160; <br>Incinerators covered by these requirements are the factory-made type not requiring field construction, and are designed for inside use. These requirements do not cover an incinerator that requires the use of a brick or masonry wall, etc., which forms a part of the building structure, or requires masonry work at the site to complete the incineration chamber.&#160; <br>Requirements for the installation and use of Domestic-Type Incinerators are included in the Standard for Incinerators of the National Fire Protection Association, NFPA No. 8221. 1.5 A product that contains features, characteristics, components, materials, or systems new or different from those in use when the standard was developed, and that involves a risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to persons, shall be evaluated using the appropriate additional component and end-product requirements as determined necessary to maintain the level of safety for the user of the product as originally anticipated by the intent of this standard.
