Schedule 1            Test procedures for lighters

(see ss 38 and 40-43)

Part 1.1General test procedures

1The lighter must be maintained at a temperature of 23±2°C for at least 10 hours immediately before testing in accordance with part 1.2, part 1.3 and part 1.4.

2The area in which tests are carried out must be maintained at a temperature of 23±2°C during testing in accordance with part 1.2, part 1.4 and part 1.5.

3The lighter to be tested must be new, free of mechanical damage and must not (except if required by division 2.13) have been previously tested.

Part 1.2Flame height test procedures

1The test must be carried out inside a draught-free chamber constructed from suitable nonflammable material.

2The flame height must be measured to the nearest 10mm.

3Adjustable lighters must be tested with the lighter adjusted to produce the maximum flame height and then with the lighter adjusted to produce the minimum flame height.

4The lighter must produce a flame for a continuous 5 second period and the flame height must be decided by measuring from the tip of the flame to the top of the flameguard or to the base of the flame (for a lighter that does not have a flameguard) by means of a board positioned at least 25mm behind the lighter and marked with 10mm increments.

Part 1.3Inversion test procedures

1The lighter (adjustable lighters adjusted to produce a 50mm flame) must be operated to produce a flame, for a continuous 10 second period in a draught-free chamber, while being held at 45° below the horizontal.

Part 1.4Drop test procedures

1The lighter must be allowed to fall 3 times onto a concrete surface from a point 1.5m above it, from the following positions:

(a)first, an upright position;

(b)second, an inverted position;

(c) third, a horizontal position;

2The lighter must be inspected after every fall and any spontaneous ignition or damage must be recorded.

Part 1.5Temperature test procedures

1An oven that can withstand the explosion of a lighter when being tested and of maintaining a temperature of 54±2°C must be used in the test.

2The lighter must be placed in the oven for 4 hours during which time the oven temperature must be maintained at 54±2°C.

3The lighter, when removed from the oven and allowed to become cool, must be tested in accordance with part 1.3.

Part 1.6Pressure test procedure

1The test apparatus must consist of a device that can produce gauge pressure of 2MPa.

2The lighter must be emptied of fuel.

3The fuel reservoir of the lighter must be subjected to an internal pressure equal to twice the vapour pressure at 54°C of the fuel normally used in the lighter.

4The pressure rise must not exceed a rate of 69kPa per second.
