Clean cookstoves and clean cooking solutions — Harmonized laboratory test protocols — Part 3: Voluntary performance targets for cookstoves based on laboratory testing

Abstract

This document provides voluntary performance targets for cookstoves and is intended to supplement
ISO 19867-1. These voluntary performance targets are intended for use with the results of the
laboratory testing specified in ISO 19867-1.
These voluntary performance targets are provided as informative guidance, and are not intended
as normative requirements for the testing of cookstoves. Performance targets can be considered as
an approach to benchmarking potential performance of cookstoves and clean cooking solutions, and
provide guidance to help organizations and countries with international collaboration and trade in
household energy technologies, fuels, and related products.
This document is therefore not intended to serve as the sole basis for decisions about which technologies/
fuels to promote for a given setting, since the performance of a given technology will likely differ under
real-use conditions. The best way to assess real-world impacts of a stove intervention or program is
through field studies, see ISO 198691), as well as other existing methods[2][3].
In addition to the limitations arising from differences from real-word performance, laboratory test
metrics (efficiency, emissions, safety, and durability) do not inform other factors that are critical to
the impacts a product, program, or intervention may achieve. These factors include, but are not limited
to geographic/cultural suitability, price-affordability, acceptability to the target user group, and other
socio-economic factors.
These voluntary performance targets for emissions are intended to evaluate cookstoves used for smallscale household applications, with maximum firepower of up to 10 kW. Cookstoves that have firepower
above 10 kW could emit substantially more overall pollutants into the household environment than
those under 10 kW, while still meeting targets based on grams emitted per megajoule of useful energy
delivered.
