21、hat complete extinction results in accordance with Clause 7.11. 3.2.4 The extinction device shall be of a design which cannot be acci- dentally dislodged under normal use and handling. 3.2.5 The appliance, when empty or full, or partially filled with any amount of fuel, shall be capable of being tip
22、ped in any direction, to an angle of 35 degrees from the normal upright position without overturning on being released. 3.2.6 The appliance while operating or not operating and filled in accordance with Clause 7.1.7 shall not permit the escape of liquid fuel. This requirement shall be deemed met if
23、the appliance: (a) Will not leak liquid fuel when tilted to any angle up to 40 degrees in any direction from the normal upright position; and (b) When lying on its side for a period of at least 10 minutes, will not leak more than 2Y2 ounces of liquid fuel in any given minute. 3.2.7 The catalytic lay
