Description / Abstract: Introduction

Note: Nothing in this standard supercedes applicable laws and regulations.

Note: In the event of conflict between the English and domestic language, the English language shall take precedence.

Purpose. This specification prescribes the procedures to be used to investigate the changes in physical or mechanical properties of adhesives and sealers when subjected to extended storage periods in uncontrolled environments.

Applicability. This test procedure is applicable when referenced in the appropriate material specification.

Remarks. This test procedure attempts to simulate the environmental extremes that adhesives and sealers normally experience during shipping and storage. The environmental parameters used for testing may be modified by GM Materials Engineering as required due to unusual or non-typical situations
