Description

This document specifies the safety, performance, consumer packaging and marking requirements including the test methods for firelighters used to light solid fuels in barbecue and grill appliances. This document covers firelighters supplied as either solid, liquid, thickened liquid or gel formulations. However, the use of highly flammable liquids (except in stabilized formulations) is specifically excluded from the scope of this document as their use as barbecue firelighters is regarded as highly dangerous. This document is intended to reduce the risks which may occur during and through barbecuing with solid fuels.
