Tests done by BSTL Tests done by BSTL Standard Tests Performed at BSTL Standard Tests Performed at BSTL WBT ( Water Boiling Test ) : Lab Based TestCCT (Controlled Cooking Test ) KPT (Kitchen Performance Test )

Generally we perform WBT at our lab to certify thermal efficiency through Cold Start, Hot start and simmering.

Also we test and monitor performance of different ICS that has been disseminated in Nepal.
