Preface
This publication represents a basic standard for safe operation, substantial and durable construction, and acceptable performance of outdoor cooking gas appliances. It is the result of years of experience in the manufacture, testing, installation, maintenance, inspection and research on outdoor cooking gas appliances designed for utilization of gas. There are risks of injury to persons inherent in appliances that, if completely eliminated, would defeat the utility of the appliance. The provisions in this standard are intended to help reduce such risks while retaining the normal operation of the appliance.Nothing in this standard is to be considered in any way as indicating a measure of quality beyond compliance with the provisions it contains. It is designed to allow compliance of outdoor cooking gas appliances, the safety construction and performance of which may exceed the various provisions specified herein. In its preparation, recognition has been given to possibilities of improvement through ingenuity of design. As progress takes place, revisions may become necessary. When they are believed desirable, recommendations or suggestions should be forwarded to the Chairman of Accredited Standards Committee Z21/83, 8501 East Pleasant Valley Road, Cleveland, Ohio 44131, or the Chairman of CSA Technical Committee on Gas Appliances and Related Accessories, 5060 Spectrum Way, Suite 100, Mississauga, Ontario, Canada L4W 5N6.
