Clean cookstoves and clean cooking solutions — Field testing methods for cookstoves

Abstract

This document provides field testing methods to evaluate cooking system performance in real-world
conditions.
This document is intended to:
a) Provide quantitative and qualitative measurements of cooking system performance. Requirements
and guidance are provided for evaluation of usage, usability, fuel consumption, energy consumption,
power, emissions, safety, and durability. These measurements include uncontrolled and controlled
cooking tests.
b) Provide guidance for measurements of household air pollution and personal exposure to PM2,5 and
CO.
c) 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.
d) 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 this document
are presented as measurements of “cookstoves” or “cooking devices” for simplicity, but are intended
to be interpreted as measurements of cooking systems. Some measurements (usage, kitchen energy
consumption, and pollutant exposure) pertain to household-level cooking systems that include all
cookstoves, cooking devices, fuels, and user practices in a household. Cooking systems can also include
other aspects of the cooking environment (such as ventilation when measuring exposure).
This document is applicable to cookstoves used primarily for cooking or water heating in domestic,
small-scale enterprise and in institutional applications, typically with firepower less than 20 kW and
cooking vessel volume less than 150 l. The provisions of this document are applicable to solar cookers.
This document 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.
This document is intended for manufacturers, implementing organizations, researchers, governments,
or other entities that need to evaluate cooking system performance in the field.
