8.1 Samples of each size container, with the head or cover and liner, if provided, in place is to be subjected to 8.2 — 8.7.
8.2 Each container is to be placed on a 3/4 inch (19.1 mm) thick painted (black) plywood sheet, freestanding in a draft free room and away from any walls or other obstructions. Three thermocouples are to be placed on the surface of the plywood under the container on a line representing the diameter or centerline of the container body. One thermocouple is to be placed in the center of the container and the other two are to be placed along the centerline of the container at 1/6 of the distance from each edge.
8.3 Separate tests are to be conducted with each container filled 1/3 full, 2/3 full, and completely full of shredded, fluffed newspaper, which is to be ignited by a match. The width of the strips of newspaper shall be 0.20 ±0.10 inch. The shredded paper, when in place in the container, is to have a bulk density of 5.1 oz/ft3 (5.16 kg/m3). If the container is equipped with a lid that is not of the self-closing type, the fire test is to be conducted with the lid open.
8.4 The tests shall indicate that the container assembly effectively contains the contents, reduces the duration and intensity of combustion and shall extinguish the fire in accordance with 8.5 — 8.7.
8.5 The maximum temperature attained on the plywood during the tests on the container assembly shall not exceed the test ambient temperature by more than 79°C (175°F).
8.6 The tests are to be conducted at any ambient temperature within the range of 10—40°C (50 — 104°F).
8.7 The container assembly shall extinguish the fire within 20 minutes of ignition and at least 25 percent by weight of unburned paper shall remain.
