The test specified in this standard serves to assess the behaviour of products as in DIN 16922 when
subjected to repetitive flexing (flex cracking behaviour).
The test specimens may be of type A or type B (see clause 4), although results obtained for the two types are
not comparable.
Whether type A or type B test specimens are to be tested and at what temperature shall be subject to
agreement.
