Introduction Realizing the need to upgrade the
existing testing services and facilities and capacitate its human resources, RTKC has been set up at CRT/N with support from Global Alliance for Clean Cookstoves (GACC) led by United Nations Foundation (UNF)
Vision: Self sustaining Regional Cookstoves Testing and Knowledge Centre (RTKC), Nepal with fully equipped and trained staffs to provide most reliable service to clients
Mission: Improve Technology, communicate performance and promote sales and adoption of clean cooking devices
Centre for Rural Technology, Nepal (CRT/N)
Objectives Enhance Testing Capacity mapping to the International
Standard Organization (ISO), International Workshop Agreement (IWA) Tiers of Performance
Modify / upgrade stove designs and develop clean cookstoves technology
Establish effective knowledge dissemination and networking with other Stove Testing and Knowledge Centers at the national and regional level
Support to Government of Nepal’s ambitious mission on "Clean Cooking Solutions for All by 2017” implemented by the Alternative Energy Promotion Centre (AEPC)
Offer testing and monitoring services to organizations at national and regional level

Testing Protocol ISO IWA Protocol 4.2.2Testing is done in
compliance with ISO IWA matrices where
It Is done in three stagesWBT is conducted using
Protocol 4.2.2 1. Hot Start 2. Cold Start3. SimmeringRepeated three times to
get the closest values needed for Tier
