Safety Guidelines and Testing

A set of safety guidelines and testing procedures was developed by Nathan Johnson from Iowa State University (with collaboration from various PCIA Partners)as part of his masters thesis "Risk Analysis and Safety Evaluation of Household Stoves in Developing Nations." The attached document (Chapter 5 from his thesis) provides standardized methods of testing stove safety to minimize the harmful factors of stove use. The full document can be found at http://www.vrac.iastate.edu/~atlas/safety.htm [1].
