(regulations 9 and 10)

Part 1.1 Filling a hot water bottle prior to testing

1 Procedure for filling a hot water bottle designed to be partly filled

            Step 1 Fill the hot water bottle to two‑thirds capacity.

            Step 2 Expel all the air by lowering the hot water bottle carefully on to a flat surface.

            Step 3 Insert the stopper, ensuring:
                (a) if the stopper is a screw stopper — that the screw stopper is tightened to a torque of (20.1) Nm; and
                (b) if the stopper is a push‑in stopper — that the stopper is pushed in fully.

2 Procedure for filling a hot water bottle designed to be completely filled

            Step 1 Completely fill the hot water bottle in an upright position until water appears at the opening.

            Step 2 Insert the stopper, ensuring:
                (a) if the stopper is a screw stopper — that the screw stopper is tightened to a torque of
