4.1 Die Verwitterung ist eine von Natur aus veränderliche Wissenschaft, da das Wetter selbst veränderlich ist. Zusätzlich, even if all devices run the same exposure cycle, results from manually accelerated tests may vary. daher, all factors need to be controlled as much as possible to reduce the overall source of error.

4.2 Proper handling of samples is important to maintain the integrity of the material being evaluated. Damage to specimens due to improper handling and labeling can adversely affect the effectiveness of test procedures, resulting in loss of money and time. Improper handling can introduce non-standard procedures into the scheme, which can be a significant source of variability, adversely affecting the overall accuracy of the results obtained. Improper processing may also introduce bias in the obtained results.

4.3 The material will change even under seemingly benign conditioning conditions, especially if the sample has been exposed. daher, it is necessary to minimize the number and length of non-test periods so that exposure is a cause for further changes.

ASTM G147-2017 Standardpraxis zur Zustandsregulierung und Handhabung nichtmetallischer Materialien für natürliche und künstliche Klimatests

Radius
1.1 This practice covers sample preparation, identification, Verpackung, Transport, handling and conditioning before, during and after natural and artificial aging tests.

1.2 This practice includes detailed information on the conditioning of specimens after exposure and before examination. This practice also includes long-term storage of sample files.

1.3 Regulation in this practice does not refer to the specific act of exposing the specimen to weathering factors.

1.4 Diese Norm soll nicht alle Sicherheitsbedenken berücksichtigen, wenn überhaupt, mit seiner Verwendung verbunden. Es liegt in der Verantwortung der Benutzer dieser Norm, vor der Verwendung geeignete Sicherheits- und Gesundheitspraktiken festzulegen und die Anwendbarkeit behördlicher Beschränkungen zu bestimmen.

ASTM G147-2017 Standardpraxis zur Zustandsregulierung und Handhabung nichtmetallischer Materialien für natürliche und künstliche Klimatests

Notiz 1: There is no equivalent ISO standard describing procedures for the identification, transport, conditioning and handling of specimens used for natural or artificial ageing tests. ISO 139 und ISO 291 describe procedures for adjusting specimens before and during physical performance tests.

1.5 Dieser internationale Standard basiert auf international anerkannten Standardisierungsgrundsätzen, die in der Entscheidung über Grundsätze für die Entwicklung internationaler Standards festgelegt sind, Leitlinien und Empfehlungen des WTO-Ausschusses für technische Handelshemmnisse.
