BS ISO 19869:2019

What is ISO 19869 - Field testing methods for cookstoves about?  

ISO 19869 provides field testing methods to evaluate cooking system performance in real-world conditions. 

ISO 19869 is intended to: 

• Provide quantitative and qualitative measurements of cooking system performance. Requirements and guidance are provided for the evaluation of usage, usability, fuel consumption, energy consumption, power, emissions, safety, and durability. These measurements include uncontrolled and controlled cooking tests 
• Provide guidance for measurements of household air pollution and personal exposure to PM2,5 and CO 
• Provide guidance for field assessments that compare cooking system performance metrics either to defined performance levels or to a counterfactual scenario that enables assessment of whether the new cooking system is improved compared to what would have been observed without the implementation of a new cooking system 
• Provide guidance for prioritizing measurements that balance comprehensiveness and feasibility 

The parts of the cooking system include the cookstove, cooking vessel, fuel, user practice, and additional cooking devices (such as pot skirts and retained heat cookers). Several measurements in ISO 19869 are presented as measurements of “cookstoves” or “cooking devices” for simplicity but are intended to be interpreted as measurements of cooking systems. 

Note 1: ISO 19869 is applicable to cookstoves used primarily for cooking or water heating in domestic, small-scale enterprises, and in institutional applications, typically with firepower less than 20 kW and cooking vessel volume less than 150 l. 

Note 2: ISO 19869 does not cover electric stoves or cookstoves used primarily for space heating. Although some parts of this document can be applicable to electric stoves (usage, usability, safety, durability, cooking power, and household energy consumption), specific considerations required for testing electric stoves are not provided. 

Who is ISO 19869 - Field testing methods for cookstoves for? 

ISO 19869 on field testing methods for cookstoves is useful for: 

• Manufacturers, implementing organizations, researchers, governments, and other entities to evaluate cooking system performance 

Why should you use ISO 19869 - Field testing methods for cookstoves?  

Field measurements of cooking systems are essential for providing metrics for impact evaluation and performance evaluation. 

ISO 19869 provides quantitative and qualitative measurements of cooking system performance. Requirements and guidance are provided for the evaluation of usage, usability, fuel consumption, energy consumption, power, emissions, safety, and durability. Which helps while manufacturing cookstoves and cooking systems. ISO 19869 provides field testing methods to evaluate cooking system performance in real-world conditions that help to manufacture cooking systems by considering energy efficiency, safety, and durability of cookstoves. 

ISO 19869 is intended for manufacturers, implementing organizations, researchers, governments, or other entities that need to evaluate cooking system performance in the field.
