No worries Norbert.<br>
<br>
I was interested because I like to see what is acceptable for the<br>
developed world and compare that to what is practicable to those<br>
still using biomass for cooking.<br>
<br>
I'm not sure what else the proposed standard offers the third world.<br>
<br>
Is it a worthwhile read?<br>
<br>
Andrew<br>
