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 (20.1) Nm; and
                (b) if the stopper is a push‑in stopper — that the stopper is pushed in fully.

Part 1.2 Tests for stoppers

1 Test 1

            Step 1A For a hot water bottle that is designed to be partly filled, follow the procedure set out in clause 1 of Part 1.1 of this Schedule and use water at a temperature of (852)C.

            Step 1B For a hot water bottle that is designed to be completely filled, follow the procedure set out in clause 2 of Part 1.1 of this Schedule and use water at a temperature of (852)C.

            Step 2 Place the hot water bottle in a horizontal position.

            Step 3 Apply a force of 0.90.09 kN, evenly distributed over the surface of the hot water bottle, for 5 minutes.

            Step 4 Check the hot water bottle for any visible leakage of water.

2 Test 2

            Step 1A For a hot water bottle that is designed to be partly filled, follow the procedure set out in clause 1 of Part 1.1 of this Schedule and use water that has just gone off the boil.

            Step 1B For a hot water bottle that is designed to be completely filled, follow the procedure set out in clause 2 of Part 1.1 of this Schedule and use water that has just gone off the boil.

            Step 2 Invert the hot water bottle and suspend it vertically for 10 minutes.

            Step 3 Remove the stopper and empty the hot water bottle.

            Step 4 Repeat step 1A or 1B, and then steps 2 and 3 20 times in a continuous period for up to 168 hours and check for any visible signs of leakage on each occasion the steps are repeated.

            Step 5 Examine the stopper for any visible damage.

Part 1.3 Test for separation of screw stoppers

1 Torque wrench

  To comply with clause 3 of this Part, use a torque wrench that:
 (a) is capable of being set to read an accuracy of 0.1 Nm; and
 (b) has a suitable adapter that fits the stopper; and
 (c) provides the application of the torque through the axis of the stopper.

2 Tensile machine

  To comply with clause 3 of this Part, use a tensile machine that:
 (a) is capable of generating a tensile force of 0.5 kN between the upper and lower platen; and
 (b) has an upper platen equipped with a tensile jaw capable of holding the stopper; and
 (c) has a
