CAN1-11.2-M79 (R1996) PDF Download

The specifications for transportable gas camp stoves are laid out in the CAN1-11.2-M79 (R1996) standard. The specification covers propane- or butane-fueled stoves with one or more surface burners that are either designed exclusively for outdoor usage or for use both indoors and outdoors. When used indoors, it alludes to small, enclosed facilities like tents, trailers, cottages, fishing huts, cabins, and the like.

Additionally, the standard distinguishes between stoves with regulated pressure and those without. It includes stoves that are either remotely or directly attached to the fuel container. Stoves made to operate with a fuel supply of 200 g (7 ounces) or less are nevertheless exempt from the rule.

The standard underlines that in order to guarantee safety, stoves must adhere to its requirements. Even if the requirements are followed, acceptability may still not be assured if other characteristics are discovered that compromise the desired outcomes. The provisions can be reviewed and tested on stoves and parts that don't use the specified materials or construction techniques. They may be accepted if determined to be equivalent and satisfactory.

The regulation also mandates that only brand-new, unused components may be utilized in the stoves' construction.
