  5.1 Specific optical density of smoke as defined below should be recorded during the test period at least every 5 s:

where:
V = total volume of the chamber (m3)
A = exposed area of the specimen (m2)
L = optical length (m) of smoke measurement.

  5.2 When making toxicity measurements, the sampling of fumes should be made during the testing of the second or third specimen at each test condition, from the geometrical centre of the chamber within 3 min of the time when the maximum specific optical density of smoke is reached. The concentration of each toxic gas should be determined as ppm in the chamber volume.
