TWA 12
Efficient Test Procedures for Polymers
This TWA was formed in 1986 to validate the use of short term tests to reduce the need for extensive property evaluations on polymers. A detailed survey examined the availability, status and usage in the VAMAS countries of accelerated durability tests with particular focus on testing in aggressive environments such as heat, light, and liquid chemicals. Based on this survey, three interrelated projects were selected:
- A review of the use of accelerated durability tests (ADT)
- Interlaboratory test program to evaluate standard reference materials (SRMs) for ADT
- Guides to the use of standard reference materials in ADT
