scope:

This International Standard specifies general requirements for achieving elevated or subnormal temperatures in the testing of rubber and other elastomeric materials. It specifies general principles of the construction and operation of temperature-controlled chambers for conditioning and/or testing. For some tests -for example ageing tests- special procedures, conditions or equipment which differ from those specified in this International Standard may be required. In such cases, the requirements should be included in the method of test and supersede the requirements of this International Standard.
