25、It gives: the necessary tests to establish compliance with these requirements; a sampling procedure to enable the selection of individual matches and match containers for test; an acceptable quality level for matches and match containers within a sample. It relates the acceptable quality level to th

26、e category of hazard considered to result from failure to comply with the requirements. The standard is applicable to all matches where requirements and tests are followed according to the classification and definition of the matches under examination. The requirements of this standard also apply to

27、 dedicated matches. However, those clauses which, when complied with, clearly render the match ineffective for its specific purpose are not applicable in this case. 2 Normative references This European Standard incorporates by dated or undated reference, provisions from other publications. These nor

28、mative references are cited at the appropriate places in the text and the publications are listed hereafter. For dated references, subsequent amendments to or revisions of any of these publications apply to this European Standard only when incorporated in it by amendment or revision. For undated ref

The inspection levels shall be S3 for matches and S2 for the containers. The AQL for each performance requ

39、irement is specified in Table 2, Table 4, Table 5, Table 6, Table 7 and Table 8 and relevant clauses. NOTE AQLs have been chosen by category of hazard as described in Table 1. Table 1 Categories of hazard and AQLs 4.2 Conditioning Prior to testing for performance, samples shall be maintained at (23

40、5) C and (50 20) % rh for not less than 24 h. Testing shall commence within 30 s of transferring samples from the conditioning to the testing areas. 4.3 Acceptance and rejection Take the AQL from the relevant Table 2, Table 4, Table 5, Table 6, Table 7 or Table 8, or from the relevant clause, refer

41、to the relevant sampling table (see 4.1) and accept or reject the sample by referring to the acceptance or rejection figures in that table. In the event of product being rejected on a first test it is permitted to test a further quantity of product such that the total sample conforms to the next hig

42、hest permitted sample size code letter. Acceptance or rejection is then based on the criteria pertaining to the larger sample size. 5 Visual inspection 5.1 General All visual inspections shall be carried out from a distance of (300 50) mm with the unaided eye, or using normal corrected vision only,

43、at an ambient light level sufficient to provide not less than 250 lx at the surface under inspection. The testing for striking performance, 6.1.1 shall be carried out at an ambient light level not exceeding 100 lx. Matches failing the visual inspection requirements of 5.2 and 5.3 shall be replaced b

The mean value of all the contents shall be

45、 between 98 % and 110 % of the declared contents. If 12,5 % of the declared count is a fractional number this should be rounded up to the nearest whole number. 5.2.2 Envelopment All matches shall be inside the match container. 5.2.3 Ease of opening When each match container is opened and closed once

46、, it shall not tear or acquire any additional creases resulting from excessive force having to be applied.
