or glowing combustion up to the holding fixture.
D. Not have any specimens that drip flaming particles
that ignite the dry absorbent surgical cotton
located 12" below the test specimen.
E. Not have any specimens with glowing combustion
that persists for more than 30 seconds after the
second removal of the test flame.
