United States Stove Company Quality Assurance Plan for EPA Certified Models
Rev 1
United States Stove Company has contracted with PFS-TECO to conduct regular (at least annual) unannounced
audits of the manufacturing facility, appliance and quality assurance plan under ISO-IEC Standard 17065 to
insure United States Stove Company Quality Assurance plan is implemented. PFS-TECO
is authorized and
required to submit the results of all audits to United States Stove Company and the EPA Administrator within 30
days of the audit. The Audit report will identify any deviations from the United States Stove Company quality
assurance plan and corrective actions that need to be taken to address each identified deficiency.
United States Stove Company ’s EPA certified models will be evaluated to determine an inspection process that
insures all units within a certified model line will be similar in all material aspects that would affect emissions.
This evaluation has determined what parts, dimensions and assemblies are to be measured and documented on
a completed unit and what parts are necessary to be inspected and documented before assembly of the unit.
An EPA Certified models parts determined necessary to be inspected prior to assembly may be found within the
K-list document for the model line and/or the test report supplied by the accredited laboratory.
The part inspections are documented and filed with the corresponding physical unit inspection file or log. Parts
purchased and manufactured by other suppliers and vendors, such as gaskets are inspected upon receipt into
the factory prior to release for production of a heater.
Inspection frequency will be conducted at a rate of every 100 heaters produced.
Quality Assurance inspections of an EPA certified model will review the K-list document of the EPA certified
model line. Nominal vs. actual measurements will be recorded and the results of will be maintained in a physical
unit inspection file or log. The following components (when applicable) will be included in each inspection:
o
Firebox: Dimensions
o
Air Inlet Systems: Cross sectional area of restrictive air inlets and outlets, location and method
of control
o
Baffles: Dimensions and Locations
o
Refractory/Insulation: Dimensions, and Location
o
Catalyst: Dimensions and Location
o
Catalyst bypass mechanism and catalyst bypass gap tolerances (when bypass mechanism is in
closed position): Dimensions, Cross-Sectional Area, and Location
o
Flue Gas Exit: Dimensions and Location
o
Door and Catalyst Bypass Gaskets: Material, Dimensions, and Fit
o
Outer Thermal Shielding and Thermal Coverings: Dimensions and Location
o
Fans: Speed and Power Rating (Performance)
For Heaters Equipped with Fuel Feed Systems
o
Auger: Dimensions and Location
o
Feed Motor: Speed and Power Rating (Performance)
Inspection tolerances are -/+0.25" for any linear dimension and +/-5% for any cross sectional area relating to air
induction systems and, if applicable, catalyst bypass gaps. Any measurement or dimension out of tolerance will
be documented and all corrective actions taken to remedy the deficiency will be documented in the unit
inspection file to be reviewed in accredited laboratory inspections.
