Regional Testing and Knowledge Centers

Regional Testing and Knowledge Centers (RTKCs) provide assurances on technology performance and quality for manufacturers, customers, and other stakeholders.

RTKCs also support local producers and manufacturers to improve products, communicate performance to customers, and provide training and other resources to catalyze stoves and fuels activities.

This list includes organizations that are focused on a cookstoves and fuels testing and/or design. Please contact the testing organizations directly about potential collaborations or to find out what testing services they may offer.
