1.1These test methods describe mechanical tests for determining the following performance properties:

1.1.1Compression Load,

1.1.2Bending Load,

1.1.3Impact Resistance, and

1.1.4Bending Fatigue Life (followed by Impact Resistance).

1.2The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as standard.

1.3This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, 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.
