1 Scope
This document specifies test conditions and the procedure to be followed for determining
the tear strength of a trapezoidal specimen of a rubber- or plastics-coated fabric, using
a tensile testing machine. This test can be carried out:
• either on test specimens conditioned in reference atmospheres; or
• on test specimens which have been subjected to any necessary treatment for the application
considered, for example dipping.
