2.1 Specimen
Specimen shall be completely assembled deliverable finished product. Assembling shall be carried out according to the instructions provided along with the product by the manufacturer. Where there are several assembly methods, it shall be assembled and tested with the method which is most unfavorable to the mechanical property inspection and recorded in the inspection report. Where assembling structure is not provided, the assembly method shall be recorded in the inspection report. The connecting piece shall be fastened before the test. Unless specially requested in the manufacturer's instructions, the connecting piece shall not be refastened during the test.
For specimen manufactured with bonding method, it shall be stored for at least 7din normal indoor environment since the manufacturing or assembly and before the test.
The specimen shall be thoroughly inspected before test; attention shall be paid to defects of all components and accessories so as to distinguish the defects caused by test; the dimensions of all components are measured and well recorded so as to determine the permanent deformation caused by test.
Where possible, the test shall be carried out according to the procedures specified in this part, and all tests shall be completed on the same specimen. The test procedure deviating from those specified in this part shall be recorded in the test report.
