Note 1:This description of the features of a Fuel-Burning Portable Device which is within the scope of this standard, together with the exceptions listed, are intended to identify device configurations that have been shown a risk of flame jetting. See X1.2.
1.1These requirements apply to devices that:
1.1.1Are not covered by the scope of UL 1370;
1.1.2Sustain a flame over the fuel surface in an open reservoir;
1.1.3Sustain a flame that does not require external ventilation to remove the combustion emissions, and are therefore ventless;
1.1.4Burn a liquid, gelled, or otherwise non-solid fuel in an open reservoir or from a disposable, non-refillable, fuel container;
1.1.5Are intended to be easily carried or moved by hand; and
1.1.6Are intended for indoor use, outdoor use, or both.
1.1.7These requirements apply to components that are sold or provided separately, including aftermarket components.
1.2These requirements do not apply to devices that:
1.2.1Are candles;
1.2.2Are burners for camping stoves with a fuel volume of less than 12.2 in.3 (200 mL) and intended for use with cookware;
1.2.3Are chafing dishes or beverage warmers exclusively using non-refillable fuel cartridges;
1.2.4Burn solid fuels, as determined by the test method described in Test Methods D4359; or
1.2.5Do not have an open reservoir such as a refillable oil lamp, outdoor garden, or table torch intended to burn combustible fuel using a wick to sustain the flame (see Appendix X1).
1.3This specification prescribes minimum safety requirements for devices to help ensure a reasonable degree of safety for normal use, thereby improving personal safety and reducing fires, deaths, and injuries.
1.4This specification is not intended to replace other safety practices such as adult supervision, close monitoring of product when in use, and fire detection, alarm, or suppression systems.
1.5The values stated in SI units are to be considered standard. The values in parentheses are explanatory or approximate information.
1.6This specification is used to measure and describe the response of materials, products, or assemblies to heat, flame, and forces under controlled conditions, but does not by itself incorporate all factors required for fire hazard or fire risk assessment of the materials, products, or assemblies under actual fire conditions.
1.7This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety, health, and environmental practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.
1.8This international standard was developed in accordance with internationally recognized principles on standardization established in the Decision on Principles for the Development of International Standards, Guides and Recommendations issued by the World Trade Organization Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT) Committee.
