									<text>"combustion" means the direct combination of oxygen gas, e.g. in air, and a burnable substance. Any other heat-producing combination of chemical substances, e.g. hydrogen peroxide and methane, iron oxide and aluminium, is covered by section C or by subclass <sref ref="F24J"/>;</text>
								</noteParagraph>
								<noteParagraph>
									<text>"combustion chamber" means a chamber in which fuel is burned to establish a self-supporting fire or flame and which surrounds that fire or flame;</text>
								</noteParagraph>
								<noteParagraph>
									<text>"burner" means a device by which fluent fuel is passed to a combustion space where it burns to produce a self-supporting flame;</text>
								</noteParagraph>
