If testing a category 1 spinner securely attach the 50 g weight (8.1.1.2) to the initial fuse. If testing a category 2 spinner securely attach the 100 g weight (8.1.1.3) to the initial fuse. Using the timing device (8.1.1.4), determine and record, whether the initial fuse will support the weight for at least 10 s without becoming detached. If the initial fuse becomes detached do not proceed with further testing of that spinner.



EN 14035-33:2005 (E) 12 8.2 Performance (type test and batch test) 8.2.1 Test environment 8.2.1.1 Test area. The test area shall be an outdoor site, on level ground, with a radius of at least 9 m and a smooth, hard, horizontal, non-flammable surface (for example, concrete). Three circles, radius 1,0 m, 6,0 m and 8,0 m, shall be marked around the centre of the test area. 8.2.1.2 Wind speed. A means of measuring the wind speed at a height of 1,5 m above the ground shall be provided. No performance testing shall be carried out if the wind speed exceeds 5,0 m/s. 8.2.2 Apparatus 8.2.2.1 Timing device, suitable of displaying at least one intermediate time, readable to the nearest 0,1 s. 8.2.2.2 Ignition source, capable of producing a small flame or of smouldering. 8.2.2.3 Laboratory balance, capable of weighing to the nearest 0,1 g. 8.2.3 Procedure 8.2.3.1 Measure and record the wind speed (see 8.2.1.2). 8.2.3.2 Place the spinner on the ground in the centre of the test area (8.2.1.1). Check visually and record whether the point of ignition is visible from the top of the spinner. Apply the ignition source (8.2.2.2) and at the same instant, start the timing device (8.2.2.1). Stop the intermediate time the moment the initial fuse ignites. If the initial fuse fails to ignite within 10 s, record the fact and do not proceed with further testing of that spinner. Otherwise, stop the timing device when the spinner starts to produce its first principal effect. Record whether the initial fuse ignited within 10 s and whether the ignition of the initial fuse was visible. 8.2.3.3 Observe, without any special equipment, and record, whether the deviation of the flight of the spinner from the vertical exceeds 15°. Record the duration of the initial fuse burning. Observe and record the principal effects produced by the spinner. Observe and record whether the ground spinner explodes.



EN 14035-33:2005 (E) 13 8.2.3.4 After the spinner has ceased to function, start the timing device (8.2.2.1) immediately and record whether any flames caused by the functioning of the spinner have been extinguished within 10,0 s after the spinner has ceased to function. 8.2.3.5 Observe and record whether any burning or incandescent matter falls to the ground at a distance of more than 1,0 m, for a category 1 spinner, or 8,0 m, for a category 2 spinner, from the testing point
