Article 31 (Detailed provisions)

The details necessary for the implementation of this standard shall be determined by the Minister of Government Administration and Home Affairs.
 

Test gas A(percent) B(percent)
Methane 2.5 6.5 ~ 7.5
Hydrogen 2.0 19 ~ 23
Isobutane 0.9 2.5 ~ 3.3
  1. During the test, a detector shall be continuously issued while the current is passed through the detector.
  2. During the test, the gas around the detector shall not explode.
  3. After the test, the detector shall be stopped after the gas in the test chamber is ventilated. However, if it is structured such that the detector sound continues, the detector shall be stopped when returning or returning by operating the sound device switch.
