According to AS/NZS 2918:2001, the minimum distance to a Woodsman freestanding wood burner with a heat shield depends on the heat shield construction:

- Single 12 mm continuous material with air gap: clearance factor is 0.4
- Single 25 mm continuous material with air gap: clearance factor is 0.3
- Two spaced layers of 12 mm continuous material with air gap: clearance factor is 0.2

To find the minimum distance, multiply the unshielded clearance by the relevant clearance factor. The specific unshielded clearance is not provided in the context, so the exact minimum distance cannot be calculated.
