1.1 This practice is intended to define the conditions for testing the resistance of plastic sheet, plastic laminated materials, and molded plastics to changes in properties due to exposure at elevated temperatures. Only the procedure for heat exposure is specified, and not the test method or specimen. The effect of heat on any property may be determined by selection of an appropriate test method and specimen.
1.2 This standard does not purport to address all of the safety problems, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety and health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use. NOTE 1—There is no similar or comparable ISO standard.
