The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as the standard. The values given in parentheses are for information only.

NOTE 1 - This test method was developed jointly with the Society of the Plastics Industry, primarily for use with plasticized vinyl sheetings. Its applicability to other plastic sheetings must be verified by the user.
