 (b) the button/coin batteries contained in the samples are not released during the testing.
 (2) If consumer goods cannot comply with subsection (1) because a test in a specified clause of a standard in the subsection is not appropriate for that kind of consumer goods, the consumer goods are taken to comply with that subsection if:

 (b) before the supply of the consumer goods to a consumer, representative samples of the consumer goods are tested in accordance with that alternative test; and
 (c) applying that alternative test (along with the other tests of the standard that apply and are appropriate) ensures that the battery is not released during reasonably foreseeable use or misuse conditions.
