7.5 Test method

 Fire tests should be conducted with the ignition centred under one, between two and below four nozzles. Each fire should be ignited using two igniters as described in 5.5. The igniters should be placed on the floor, each against the base of one of the two central stacks and ignited simultaneously. The fire tests should be conducted for 10 min after the activation of the first nozzle, and any remaining fire should be extinguished manually.

 When positioned between two nozzles, the gap between the two centric stacks of commodities should be positioned at 90° to the line between the nozzles.
