A detailed Lest plan for the fire test to include time sequences and data collection requirements shall be developed and rehearsed prior to initiation of the actual test. 40.1S Calibration. Calibration of the fuel supply system shall be confirmed and the burning rate of the fuel supply shall be calculated.

When analysis of the combustion gases from the composite is required, the base level of combustion products formed from the fuel system shall be determined as a function of the time the fuel is burning. 40.1.4 Ancillary serviees. The material application and the ancillary seMces for the operating mode and failure sensing system shall be installed. 40.1.5 Data and monitoring systems. The data collection sensors and monitoring systems shall be installed and calibrated. 40.1.6 Fire fiihting equipment. hose component shall be tested. The tire fighting equipment shall be laid out and the fire 40.2 Procedure. Test procedure shall k as follows: a. Turn on test instrumentation b.
