[Stoves] Guatemala meeting about tests and standards

[Ranyee Chiang]

Dear all,
There is a general summary of the meeting available here, and how the outcomes of Guatemala fit with the overall progress:  http://www.cleancookstoves.org/blog/progress-report-october-2014.html.  The detailed summaries of each Working Group's discussion is only available to Working Group members, since there are many discussions and decisions that are in progress.  Please see this website for information about how to join the standards process:  http://www.cleancookstoves.org/our-work/standards-and-testing/guidelines-and-standards/
Regarding laboratory testing, I also would like to provide a clarification on some earlier responses to this thread.  Because the discussions are still ongoing, please be aware that specific decisions have not been finalized.  We do have general agreement about the approach that we will take in working together.  There are no methods that have been rejected.  And there are no methods that have been accepted.  The general agreement is to work together and to take the best components of test methods and develop a robust framework and procedures for testing.  In fact, I encourage people to look at the vast commonalities that already exist among different groups.  There are far more similarities than there are differences.  We will also continue the discussion on how best to communicate results to both technical and non-technical audiences.
Best regards,
Ranyee

Dear Stovers,

There was a meeting about tests and standards of stoves in Guatemala a month or so ago.   Is there any summary report?  Or could those who were there make some comments, please.

I assume there is a list somewhere of who are on the ISO / WBT / IWA / XYZ committee.   And how many showed up?

Nothing was said about this at the GACC 2 day meeting just concluded, so I thought I would ask.

Thanks in advance,

Paul
