1.6 The terms “combustible” and “noncombustible”, as used in these requirements, are defined in the Glossary of Terms Relating to Chimneys, Vents, and Heat-Producing Appliances, ANSI/NFPA 97M.

1.7 A product that contains features, characteristics, components, materials, or systems new or different from those covered by the requirements in this standard, and that involves a risk of fire or of electric shock or injury to persons shall be evaluated using appropriate additional component and end-product requirements to maintain the level of safety as originally anticipated by the intent of this standard. A product whose features, characteristics, components, materials, or systems conflict with specific requirements or provisions of this standard does not comply with this standard.
