Preface
This is the third edition of ANSI Z21.72 • CSA 11.2, Portable type gas camp stoves. It supersedes the
previous editions published in 2000 and 2011.
This Standard was prepared by the Z21/CSA Joint Technical Subcommittee on Standards for Gas-Fired
Refrigerators and Portable Camping Equipment, under the jurisdiction of the Technical Committee on
Performance and Installation of Gas Burning Appliances and Related Accessories and the Strategic
Steering Committee on Standards for Gas Appliances and Related Accessories, and had been formally
approved by the Z21/83 and CSA Technical Committees, American National Standards Institute, and the
Interprovincial Gas Advisory Council.
Interpretations: The Strategic Steering Committee on Standards for Standards for Gas Appliances and
Related Accessories has provided the following direction for the interpretation of standards under its
jurisdiction: “The literal text shall be used in judging compliance of products with the safety
requirements of this Standard. When the literal text cannot be applied to the product, such as for new
materials or construction, and when a relevant committee interpretation has not already been
published, CSA Group's procedures for interpretation shall be followed to determine the intended
safety principle.”
Notes:
1) Use of the singular does not exclude the plural (and vice versa) when the sense allows.
2) This Standard contains SI (Metric) units corresponding to the yard/pound quantities, the purpose being to
allow the standard to be used in SI (Metric) units. (IEEE/ASTM SI 10, American National Standard for Metric
Practice, or ISO 80000-1:2009, Quantities and units – Part 1: General, is used as a guide in making metric
conversion from yard/pound quantities.) If a value for a measurement and a corresponding value in other
units are stated, the first stated value is to be regarded as the requirement. The given corresponding value
may be approximate. If a value for a measurement and a corresponding value in other units are both
specified as a quoted marking requirement, the first stated unit, or both, are to be provided.
3) Although the intended primary application of this Standard is stated in its Scope, it is important to note that it
remains the responsibility of the users of the Standard to judge its suitability for their particular purpose.
4) This publication was developed by consensus, which is defined by CSA Policy governing standardization –
Code of good practice for standardization as “substantial agreement. Consensus implies much more than a
simple majority, but not necessarily unanimity.” It is consistent with this definition that a member may be
included in the Technical Committee list and yet not be in full agreement with all clauses of this publication.
5) This Standard is subject to review five years from the date of publication, and suggestions for its improvement
will be referred to the appropriate committee. To submit a proposal for change, please send the following
information to inquiries@csagroup.org and include “Proposal for change” in the subject line:
a) Standard designation (number);
b) relevant clause, table, and/or figure number;
c) wording of the proposed change; and
d) rationale for the change.
6) To submit a request for interpretation of this Standard, please send the following information to
inquiries@csagroup.org and include “Request for interpretation” in the subject line:
a) define the problem, making reference to the specific clause, and, where appropriate, include an
illustrative sketch;
b) provide an explanation of circumstances surrounding the actual field condition; and
c) where possible, phrase the request in such a way that a specific “yes” or “no” answer will address the
issue.
Committee interpretations are processed in accordance with the CSA Directives and guidelines governing
standardization and are available on the Current Standards Activities page at standardsactivities.csa.ca.

History of the development of the Standard for Portable type gas camp
stoves
Note: This History is informative and is not part of the standard.
With the onset of the Free Trade Agreement between the United States and Canada on January 2, 1988,
significant attention was given to the harmonization of the United States and Canadian safety standards
addressing gas-fired equipment for residential, commercial, and industrial applications. It was believed
that the elimination of the differences between the standards would remove potential trade barriers
and provide an atmosphere in which North American manufacturers could market more freely in the
United States and Canada. The harmonization of these standards was also seen as a step toward
harmonization with international standards.
The draft harmonized standard was based on current coverage from the American National Standard
for Portable Camp Cook Stoves for Use with Propane Gas, Z21.72-1982, and the Canadian Standard for
Portable Type Gas Camp Stoves, CAN1-11.2-M79. On September 19, 1997, the Z21/(Interim CSA) Joint
Gas Refrigerators and Portable Camping Equipment Subcommittee reviewed by letter ballot the first
draft harmonized portable type gas camp stoves standard. At its February 5, 1998 meeting, in light of
comments received, the joint subcommittee agreed to adopt the revised draft standard for public
review and comment. The revised draft portable type gas camp stoves standard was distributed for an
industrial review during June 1998.
At its November 1998 meeting, the subcommittee assigned a task group to review the comments
received and to revise the draft standard. At its June 1999 meeting, the joint subcommittee reviewed
the revised draft standard prepared by the camping equipment task group and agreed to distribute
substantive changes to the camp stoves draft standard for another industry review. The substantive
revisions to the draft standard were distributed for an industrial review during September 1999.
During its January 25-26, 2000 meeting, the joint gas refrigerators and portable camping equipment
subcommittee recommended the proposed draft standard to the Accredited Standards Committee Z21/
83 and the (Interim CSA) Standards Steering Committee for approval.
The proposed draft was approved by the Z21/83 Committee on April 13, 2000, and by the CSA Technical
Committee by letter ballot dated March 10, 2000.
The first edition of the harmonized American National Standard/CSA Standard for Portable Type Gas
Camp Stoves was approved by the Canadian Interprovincial Gas Advisory Council (IGAC) on June 1,
2000, and by the American National Standards Institute, Inc. (ANSI), on September 14, 2000.
The second edition of the Standard for Portable Type Gas Camp Stoves was approved by the IGAC on
August 23, 2011, and by ANSI on March 17, 2011.
This, the third edition of the Standard for Portable Type Gas Camp Stoves was approved by the IGAC on
November 16, 2015, and by ANSI on December 7, 2015.
The following identifies the designation and year of the harmonized standard:
ANSI Z21.72-2016 • CSA 11.2-2016

ANSI Z21.72-2016 • CSA 11.2-2016

1 Scope
1.1
This Standard applies to portable type gas camp stoves having input ratings of 12,000 Btu/hr (3.5 kW) or
less per burner for use:
a) with propane, butane, liquefied petroleum gas, and any combination thereof; and
b) outdoors only.
1.2
Stoves and components employing materials or having forms of construction differing from those
detailed in this Standard may be examined and tested according to the intent of this Standard and if
found to be satisfactorily equivalent, may be given recognition.
1.3
This Standard applies to stoves constructed entirely of new, unused parts.
1.4
All references to psi throughout this Standard are to be considered gauge pressures unless otherwise
specified.
1.5
All accessories recommended by the manufacturer for use with appliances certified to this Standard are
to be supplied and evaluated with the appliance.
1.6
If a value for measurement, as given in this Standard, is followed by an equivalent value in other units,
the first stated value is to be regarded as the specification, except as noted in Clause 4.13, Instructions,
and Clause 4.14.1.
1.7
Annex A, Items Unique to Canada, contains provisions that are unique to Canada.
1.8
Clause 2, Reference publications, contains a list of standards specifically referenced in this Standard,
and sources from which these standards may be obtained.
1.9
This Standard contains SI (Metric) equivalents to the yard/pound quantities, the purpose being to allow
the Standard to be used in SI (Metric) units. (IEEE/ASTM SI 10, American National Standard for Metric
Practice, or ISO 80000-1:2009, Quantities and units – Part 1: General is used as a guide in making metric
conversion from yard/pound quantities.) If a value for a measurement and a corresponding value in
other units are stated, the first stated value is to be regarded as the requirement. The given

corresponding value may be approximate. If a value for a measurement and a corresponding value in
other units are both specified as a quoted marking requirement, the first stated unit, or both are to be
provided.
1.10
In this Standard, “shall” is used to express a requirement, i.e., a provision that the user shall satisfy in
order to comply with the standard; “should” is used to express a recommendation or that which is
advised but not required; and “may” is used to express an option or that which is permissible within the
limits of the standard.
Notes accompanying clauses do not include requirements or alternative requirements; the purpose of a
note accompanying a clause is to separate from the text explanatory or informative material.
Notes to tables and figures are considered part of the table or figure and may be written as
requirements.
Annexes are designated normative (mandatory) or informative (non-mandatory) to define their

application.

The input of the appliance after a 15-minute warm-up period shall be within ± 5 percent of the rated
input when tested at the normal test pressure.
5.3.3.1
During all tests, wind baffles shall be closed to their minimum operating position or to a minimum
position allowed by the griddle plates where specified for use in these provisions.
5.4 Combustion
A gas stove shall produce negligible carbon monoxide. This provision shall be deemed met when a
concentration of carbon monoxide not in excess of 0.01 percent is produced in a 1000 ft3 (28.3 m3)
room with 4 air changes occurring during combustion of the amount of gas liberating 60,000 Btu
(6.3 MJ).

Method of Test
The burner shall be covered as follows:
a) One-burner stove.

Diameter
The burner shall be covered with a cast-iron griddle plate 9 1/2 in (241 mm) in diameter having the
bottom recessed 3/16 in (4.8 mm) with approximately an 1/8 in (3.18) wide lip. (See Figure 1,
Griddle Plate Used in Combustion Test). A 7 1/2 in (191 mm) diameter (bottom) water-filled utensil
shall be placed on the griddle plate.
b) Two-burner stove.
Both burners shall be covered with cast-iron griddle plates 9 1/2 in (241 mm) in diameter having
the bottom recessed 3/16 in (4.8 mm) with approximately an 1/8 in (3.18 mm) wide lip. (See Figure
1, Griddle Plate Used in Combustion Test). A 7 1/2 in (191 mm) diameter (bottom) water-filled
utensil shall be placed on the griddle plate.
c) Three and four-burner stoves.
Two adjacent burners shall be covered with cast-iron griddle plates 9 1/2 in (241 mm) in diameter
having the bottom recessed 3/16 in (4.8 mm) with approximately an 1/8 (3.18 mm) wide lip. (See
Figure 1, Griddle Plate Used in Combustion Test). When input rates differ, the burner having the
highest input shall be the one covered by the griddle plate.
A 7 1/2 in (191 mm) diameter (bottom) water-filled utensil shall be placed on the griddle plates and
over the remaining top burners(s). Additional tests shall be conducted when deemed necessary
with the griddle plates covering other combination of any two adjacent burners.
When the construction of the grates is such that the grates can be positioned so as to clause the
burner flames to impinge on the grate prongs, the tests shall be conducted with the grates in that
position.
A combustion hood, provided with adjustable legs, shall be placed on the appliance so that the
combustion hood covers the utensils placed over all of the burners. When a single hood will not
cover all burners, more than one combustion hood may be used. With the edge of the combustion
hood(s) located at least 5 in (127 mm) above the cooking surface, the flames shall be observed.
The hood(s) shall then be lowered in small increments, preferable 1/2 in (12.7), while a constant
observation of the flames is maintained. As soon as any noticeable change in the character of the
flame occurs, the hood(s) shall be raised 1/2 in (12.7 mm). With the hood(s) at this height a sample
of the flue gases shall be secured from the outlet of the hood(s) and analyzed for carbon dioxide.
The outlet area of the hood(s) may be gradually reduced to obtain as high a carbon dioxide
percentage as possible without altering the flame characteristics.

After the burners have been in operation for 5 minutes at normal test pressure, samples of the flue
gases shall be secured from the hood vent when operating at the reduced and increased tests
pressure and analyzed for carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide. When more than one hood is
used, an average sample from the hood vents shall be secured and analyzed.
When construction of the stove is such that incomplete combustion might be expected to result at
normal test pressure, samples of the products of combustion at this pressure shall also be secured
and analyzed.
Analysis in each case shall be reduced to air-free basis:
And carbon monoxide concentration in a 1,000 ft3 room shall be calculated by the following
formula:
This formula may be simplified to read Cr = 0.0147 Ca Vf or Cr = 0.5194 Ca Vm

where
CrI =I concentration of CO in room atmosphere, percent;
CaI =I CO in air free product;
VfI =I volume of combustion products per 1000 Btu (exclusive of water vapour) ft3;
VmI =I volume of combustion products per 1055 MJ (exclusive of water vapour) m3; and
eI =I naperian logarithmic base (2.7183).
d) Analysis in each case shall be reduced to air-free basis.
5.5 Burner operating characteristics
5.5.1
Burners shall not flash back:
a) upon immediate ignition at normal, reduced, and increased test pressures;
b) upon two to five seconds delayed ignition at normal test pressure; or
c) during any of the other tests specified in these provisions.
5.5.2
Burners shall operate without depositing carbon during any tests specified in these provisions.
5.5.3
Burners shall not expel gas through air openings in mixer faces at normal test pressure nor at a pressure
only high enough to support combustion.
5.6 Gas valves and carrying handles

Valve handle and carrying handle temperatures shall not exceed 40°F (22.2 °C) above room temperature
for metallic handles and 60°F (33.3 °C) for nonmetallic handles after operating the stove for a period of
one hour at increased pressure in a normal room temperature. Carrying handles shall be in a rest
position.

5.7 Resistance to wind

A gas stove shall be so constructed that a 10 mph (4.47m/s) wind at a temperature of 77°F (25 °C)
applied horizontally from any direction for a 10-minute period will not cause malfunction of the burner
or damage the mantle, at normal gas pressure.
Method of Test
The test shall be conducted at normal test pressure, water-filled utensils 7 1/2 in (191 mm) in diameter
shall be placed over each burner. The unit shall be subjected to a wind directed horizontally over the
burner(s) for a period of 10 minutes from each angle selected by the testing agency.
5.8 Wall, floor, and ceiling temperatures

The maximum temperature on walls, and overhead combustible construction shall not exceed 194°F
(90 °C) [normal ambient temperature 77°F (25 °C) plus 117°F (65 °C) rise] and the maximum
temperature on the floor shall not exceed 167°F (75 °C) [normal ambient 77°F (25 °C) plus 90°F (50 °C)
rise] when the stove is tested at the manufacturer’s specified clearances under the following Method of
Test.
Method of Test
The stove shall be placed in a partial enclosure as shown in Figure 2, Typical Fire Wall Corner, at the
minimum side and top clearances specified by the manufacturer. Horizontal clearances shall be
measured from the burner casing and vertical clearances and shall be measured from the center of the
burner.
The stove shall be fired at normal gas pressure and at the manufacturer’s rated input. Water-filled
utensils 7 1/2 in (191 mm) in diameter shall be placed over each burner. The test shall be conducted
until equilibrium conditions are attained.

Marking material recognized as complying with the Standard for Adhesive Labels, CSA C22.2 No. 0.15, or
the Standard for Marking and Labeling Systems, UL 969, are exempt from this test.
The adhesive quality of Class IIA-3, IIA-4, IIIA-1, and IIIA-2 marking materials and the legibility of all
Class II, IIIA, and IIIB marking materials (see Clause 4.14.1) shall not be adversely affected when the
marking materials are exposed to heat and moisture as specified in the following Method of Test.
Method of Test
a) Adhesive type marking materials shall be applied to the particular type of finish used on the stove
in production. A sample metal panel of this finish shall be cleaned with a solvent and dried. Half of
the panel shall be wiped with a clean cloth lightly oiled with SAE-30 medium machine oil. Two
samples of marking material shall be applied to the panel, one on the dry area and one on the
oiled area. Test samples shall be applied with firm pressure unless the manufacturer's application
instructions specify otherwise. All samples shall be allowed to set for 24 hours at room
temperature. Each sample of marking material shall exhibit:
i) good adhesion and no curling at edge;
ii) no illegible or defaced printing by rubbing with thumb or finger pressure; and
iii) good adhesion when a dull metal blade (as the back of a pocketknife blade) is held at 90
degrees (1.57 rad) to the applied marking and scraped across the edges of the marking.
b) Non-adhesive type marking materials shall exhibit no illegible or defaced printing when rubbed
with thumb or finger pressure. Two samples of marking material shall be tested.

c) Samples shall then be placed in an oven for a period of 2 weeks with the oven temperature
maintained at:
i) 350°F (176.5 °C) for Class IIA-1, IIA-2, IIA-3, IIA-4, and IIIA-1 marking materials;
ii) 250°F (121 °C) for Class IIIA-2 and IIIB marking materials; or
iii) 175°F (79.5 °C) for Class IIIA-3 marking material.
Following the oven test, adhesion and legibility of the samples shall be checked again as specified in
Clause 5.9-a and -b.
Samples shall then be immersed in water for a period of 24 hours, after which adhesion and legibility
shall be rechecked as specified in Clause 5.9-a and -b.
Good adhesion and legibility qualities shall be obtained under all of the above test conditions.
Final acceptance of marking materials shall be based on the suitability of the application of the marking
material to the light.
