Direct the microphone horizontally towards the testing point and, if necessary, connect it to the sound level meter. 8.3.3.3 Place the jumping cracker in the centre of the test area (8.3.1.1). Straighten the initial fuse, if necessary. Apply the ignition source (8.3.2.3) 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 jumping cracker. Otherwise, stop the timing device when the jumping cracker starts to produce its first report. 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 jumping cracker produces reports in succession with jumping motions. After the jumping cracker has ceased to function start the timing
