1. Reason for Revision

Portable ethanol stoves are not included in the items subject to safety control under the current Electrical Appliances and Consumer Products Safety Control Act, with the result that they are distributed without safety standards, and safety accidents related to portable ethanol stoves continue to occur due to their vulnerability to fire accidents. Accordingly, the proposed revision establishes safety standards for such products to ensure consumer safety.
