This test: - is intended to provide accelerated means to assess the effects of the tarnishing of silver and silver alloys used for contacts and connections; - is particularly suitable for giving information on a comparative basis; - is not suitable as a general corrosion test, i.e. it may not predict the behaviour of contacts and connections in industrial atmospheres. The object of this test is: a) to determine the influence of atmospheres containing hydrogen sulphide on the contact properties of contacts made of: - silver or silver alloy; - silver protected with another layer; - other metals covered with silver or silver alloy. b) to check solderless conne
