Usage of inefficient and unsafe cookstoves is a cause of significant health losses and injuries in low-income communities. Efforts to develop and disseminate clean cookstoves have concentrated on optimizing thermal and emission performance, but minimal attention was given to safety aspects. Discussions conducted by the ISO TC285 Technical Committee...

... In addition to the aforementioned testing protocols, [88] emphasized the need to subject cookstoves to tipping/sliding/spilling tests, as it evaluates the mechanical stability of the stove/pot combinations. This is very crucial as it provides information on the safety of the cookstove against direct injuries, accidental fires, liquid and food burns, contact burns, and scalds, among others [88]. ...
