Direct the microphone horizontally towards the testing point and, if necessary, connect it to the sound level meter. 8.3.3.3 Position the shot tube, in accordance with the instructions on the label, in the centre of the test area. Remove the orange fuse cover, if any, and straighten the initial fuse, if necessary. Apply the ignition source (8.3.2.2) and, at the same instant, start the timing device (8.3.2.1). Observe the intermediate time at 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 shot tube. Otherwise, stop the timing device when the shot tube starts to produce its principal effects. Record whether the initial fuse ignited within 10 s and whether the ignition of the initial fuse was visible. 8.3.3.4 Record the duration of the initial fuse burning. Observe and record whether the pyrotechnic unit is ejected and whether it functions. After the shot tube has ceased to function start the timing device (8.3.2.1) immediately and record whether any flames caused by the functioning of the shot tube are extinguished within 60,0 s after the shot tube has ceased to function.

6,0 m, for a category 2 shot tube, or 15,0 m, for a category 3 shot tube, from the testing point. Observe and record whether the shot tube remains upright whilst functioning. 8.3.3.5 Record the maximum A-weighted impulse sound pressure level, as measured by the sound level meter (8.3.2.3). 8.3.3.6 After the shot tube has ceased to function examine the firework case and record whether it has any additional holes or splits. 8.4 Determination of internal diameter (type test) 8.4.1 Apparatus Vernier callipers, reading to 0,1 mm, complying with ISO 3599. 8.4.2 Procedure Using the callipers (8.4.1), measure the inside diameter of the shot tube to the nearest 1 mm.
