Schedule 1	Test procedures for lighters
(see regs 33 and 35-38)
Part 1.1	General test procedures
	1	The lighter must be maintained at a temperature of 232C for at least 10 hours immediately before testing in accordance with parts 1.2, 1.3 and 1.4. 
	2	The area in which tests are carried out must be maintained at a temperature of 232C during testing in accordance with parts 1.2, 1.4 and 1.5.
	3	The lighter to be tested must be new, free of mechanical damage and must not (except if required by division 2.9) have been previously tested. 
Part 1.2	Flame height test procedures
	1	The test must be carried out inside a draught-free chamber constructed from suitable nonflammable material.
	2	The flame height must be measured to the nearest 10mm. 
	3	Adjustable 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. 
	4	The lighter must produce a flame for a continuous 5 second period and the flame height must be determined 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 1.3	Inversion test procedures
	1	The 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 1.4	Drop test procedures
	1	The 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; 
	2	The lighter must be inspected after every fall and any spontaneous ignition or damage must be recorded. 
Part 1.5	Temperature test procedures
	1	An oven capable of withstanding the explosion of a lighter when being tested and of maintaining a temperature of 542C must be used in the test. 
	2	The lighter must be placed in the oven for 4 hours during which time the oven temperature must be maintained at 542C. 
	3	The lighter, when removed from the oven and allowed to become cool, must be tested in accordance with part 1.3. 
Part 1.6	Pressure test procedure
	1	The test apparatus must consist of a device capable of producing gauge pressure of 2MPa. 
	2	The lighter must be emptied of fuel. 
	3	The fuel reservoir of the lighter must be subjected to an internal pressure equal to twice the vapour pressure at 54C of the fuel normally used in the lighter.
	4	The pressure rise must not exceed a rate of 69kPa per second.
