CSA B140.9.2:10 (R2019)

Preface

This is the second edition of CSA B140.9.2, Portable, pressurized-type, liquid-petroleum-fuelled camp stoves.

It supersedes the previous edition, published in 1975. It is the second in a series of Standards covering minimum requirements for safe operation, acceptable performance, design, construction, manufacturing, marking, and testing of portable, liquid-fuel-burning appliances. The other Standards in the series are

(a) CSA B140.9.1, Portable liquid fuelled catalytic appliances; and

(b) CSA B140.9.4, Portable, pressurized-type, liquid-petroleum-fuelled lamps and lanterns.

Safe and satisfactory use of portable, liquid-fuelled appliances depends in part on correct operation and the burning of appropriate fuel.
