A container is conditionally allowed if it has passed visual inspection, an impact test and a zoo test. Conditionally allowed containers are allowed for use.

A container is fully allowed if it has done the above and has been successful during three months of field-trials in the summer.

Any allowed container may no longer be allowed due to unexpected problems in the field that either lead to failures, injuries, or resource damage.

A process for evaluating new canisters allowed in Yosemite National Park is under development.
