NOTE Printing errors which are not misleading should not be classified as faults. 8.6.2 Type size When measured in accordance with 9.6, the type sizes shall be such that the height of the character ‘X’ (in upper case) is at least 2,8 mm for the information specified in 8.2, 8.3 and 8.7 and at least 2,1 mm for the other information. 8.7 Additional information on the primary pack (if applicable) If the battery or the combination is not labelled completely with the information specified in 8.2 to 8.5, or if the primary pack acts as protection of the initial fuses according to 5.1.3.3, the battery or the combination shall only be sold in a primary pack. The primary pack shall be marked with the statement 'Must be sold as packaged'. This statement shall appear adjacent to the type name or category. For the printing 8.6 applies. 9 Methods of test NOTE Verification of conformity to the requirements in Clause 4, 5.1.1, 5.1.3.2 or 5.1.3.3, 5.1.4, 5.1.5, Clause 7, 8.1 to 8.5, 8.6.1 and 8.7 is by visual examination. 9.1 Attachment of protruding fuse (type test and batch test) 9.1.1 Apparatus 9.1.1.1 Means of clamping the battery or combination.
EN 14035-5:2006 (E) 15 9.1.1.2 Weight, of mass 100 g. 9.1.1.3 Timing device, capable of being read to the nearest 0,1 s. 9.1.2 Procedure Clamp the battery or combination by means of the clamping device (9.1.1.1) in a position such that the protruding fuse is pointing vertically downwards. Securely attach the 100 g weight (9.1.1.2) to the protruding fuse. Using the timing device (9.1.1.3), determine and record, whether the protruding fuse will support the weight for at least 10 s without becoming detached. If the protruding fuse becomes detached do not proceed with further testing of that battery or combination. 9.2 Vertical stability test (type test) 9.2.1 Apparatus 9.2.1.1 Wooden block, rectangular, with an upper surface inclined at 10° to the horizontal. 9.2.1.2 Timing device, capable of being read to the nearest 0,1 s. 9.2.2 Procedure 9.2.2.1 Place the base of the battery or combination on the inclined surface of the wooden block (9.2.1.1). For polygonal (triangular etc.) bases, align one edge of the base with the top edge of the wooden block. 9.2.2.2 Using the timing device (9.2.1.2), observe and record whether the battery or combinations falls over within 5 s. If it falls over discontinue the test. 9.2.2.3 Rotate the battery or combination clockwise through 90° and repeat the observation described in 9.2.2.2. 9.2.2.4 Repeat the operations described in 9.2.2.3 twice more (unless the battery or combination falls over). 9.3 Performance (type test and batch test) 9.3.1 Sound pressure level measurements Sound pressure level measurements shall be made during the type testing of batteries and combinations, except for: —batteries of Bengal flames, fountains or rockets; —combinations of Bengal flames and fountains.
EN 14035-5:2006 (E) 16 9.3.2 Test environment 9.3.2.1 Test area for category 2 batteries and combinations. The test area shall be an outdoor site, on level ground, with a radius of at least 9 m and a smooth, hard, horizontal, sound-reflecting, non-flammable surface (for example concrete). Two circles, radius 6,0 m and 8,0 m shall be marked around the centre of the test area. If applicable, two positions for monitoring the height of explosion or bursting, ascent, the angle of flight and the extinguishing of burning matter shall be provided, at a measured distance of at least 50 m from the testing point (in the centre of the test area) and at 90° to each other in relation to the testing point. If the monitoring positions and the testing point are not in the same horizontal plane, appropriate corrections shall be made in the calculation of heights. 9.3.2.2 Test
