From 2025, the deadlines of the so-called Federal Immission Control Act (BImSchG) will take effect. The law stipulates that from 2025, wood-burning stoves may emit a maximum of 0.15 grams of dust and 4 grams of carbon monoxide per cubic meter of exhaust gas.

If these limits are not complied with, retrofitting must be carried out by 31 December 2024. Consumers should definitely check how long they have owned their stove: The upcoming deadline applies to all stoves installed between 1 January 1995 and 31 December 2010.
