General Requirements (Table 1)4.1 Flame GenerationIn order to minimize the possibilityof inadvertent or self-ignition, utility lighters shall require adeliberate manual operation to produce a flame. These opera-tions shall conf
25、orm to at least one of the following require-ments:4.1.1 A system such that a positive action on the part of theuser is required to generate and maintain a flame.4.1.2 A system that requires two or more independentmotions to generate a flame.4.1.3 A system that requires an actuating force equal to o
26、rgreater than 15 N (3.4 lbf) to generate a flame (see Fig. X2.1for an example of test equipment).4.2 Flame ControlThe maximum attainable flame heightfor utility lighters shall be limited with a setting, by productdesign, or by both.
