(l) Using Safe Film. No film exchange or other establishment handling nitrocellulose motion picture films shall directly or indirectly issue any such motion picture film for projection until it has ascertained by unreeling and detailed examination that such film is in such undamaged condition to be safe for immediate projection. However, film which has not been previously projected need not be so examined if it is believed to be in undamaged, safe condition. All films found to be damaged shall be repaired and made safe for use before being issued.
