Alex,
Thanks for the suggestions.
I like the idea of using a swinging 40 lb sand bag for a bump test.

Lanny,
Here are some related testing standards. The residential heating stoves are
tested for clearance to combustible surfaces and the ability to withstand a
swinging 40 lb sand bag.
is there a UL standard for this or are you starting a new class of appliance?

I need liability insurance for an institutional size wood cooking stove

I need a list of stove hazards, problems and solutions for a presentation
to an insurance underwriter.
Is anyone else working on this? I have started a list and I would
appreciate your input and comments.

Hazards for Institutional Biomass Cooking Stoves
1.. Hot surfaces that can cause burns
2.. Cook space air pollution
3.. Tip over
4.. Bump spill not steady footing
5.. Hot handles
6.. Over fire run away fire, out of control fire (batch burners)
7.. Hot coals spill out, roll out or puff out igniting combustibles.
8.. Flame containment, not enough distance to combustibles.
9.. Hot stove surfaces, not enough distance to combustibles.
10.. Structural integrity, falls apart, burns up, door fails, legs breaks
off
11.. Sharp edges that can cut or scrape
12.. Sparks out the exhaust that could ignite combustibles
13.. Volume of fuel in a batch could be a factor. example 12 kg of wood
in a wood space heater verses 1 kg of wood in a cook stove. 12 kg has the
potential to do more harm than 1 kg.
14.. Pot spill from difficult access. Like lifting a pot from a sunken
pot stove.
