Rationale

This ballot seeks to incorporate devices intended to cook or warm food, which were previously excluded, in the scope of this standard. The working group determined that there are no other applicable standards addressing the class of products, which includes devices such as “S’Mores makers” and “Portable Hibachis”. Their configurations are very similar to the “Firepots” this standard addresses and they exhibit a similar potential for flame jetting hazard. An exception will be made for ‘camping’ style compact burners which are used by a specific class of consumers more aware of safety.
