b) Vented heating appliances other than of the direct vent system type that provide for separation between the indoor atmosphere and combustion system, including the air supplied for combustion by an installation method. Such appliances can be used only in manufactured homes, not in recreational vehicles.

1.4 The term "appliance" as used in this standard refers to any heating appliance covered by this standard, such as a warm air central furnace, a wall furnace, a heating boiler, and a water heater.

1.5 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.
