Exposureduration shall be for at least 1000 h, but of sufficient length toproduce a statistically significant change in the property ofinterest in a product known to give poor performance so thatthe test is able to identify an unacceptable material. Afterexposure, slight surface chalking and

Inspection and Rejection10.1 Class PS MaterialManufacturers of preformed sealsmay use their

40、 quality control systems for production inspectionto ensure the seals conform with this specification, providedappropriate records are kept. In case of dispute regarding thequality of a delivered product, a sample of five seals shall betaken from the lot and tested for compliance with this specifi-c

41、ation. If one of the five seals does not conform, a secondsample of five seals may be taken and tested. If two or more ofthe ten seals do not conform, the lot may be rejected.10.2 Class SC MaterialManufacturers may use their qual-ity control systems to ensure production conforms with thisspecificati

42、on. In case of dispute regarding the quality of adelivered product, five test sheets and five adhesion specimensshall be prepared, preferably from five different packages, inaccordance with the instructions supplied with the sealingmaterial. If one of the five sheets or adhesion specimens doesnot co

43、nform, an additional five sheets or adhesion specimensmay be prepared and tested. If two or more of the ten sheets oradhesion specimens do not conform, the lot may be rejected.11.
