46、.17.1.5 Physical property tests in accordance with 19.18. Electrical Tests18.1 Conditioning Prior to testing, the sheeting shall beplaced in a flat position. (WarningIt is recommended thatthe test apparatus be designed to afford the operator fullprotection in the performance of his duties. Reliable
