Solid fuel under hood

Had in my mind but can't find the requirement that a wood burning appliance required the exhaust fan to run at full load anytime the appliance was in use. (No speed control/VFD)

Little help please

Thanks
 
I did a search on the word interlock and this is all that I found for a solid fuel burning appliance.
