The tested-device shall be mounted in a testing fixture simulating actual mounting conditions as far as possible; no combustible material should be used for this with the exception of material that is part of the REESS.

In the case of a REESS designed for a specific vehicle use, vehicle parts which affect the course of the fire in any way shall be taken into consideration.
