long, and should be representative of the product.
7.2.1 Specimen thickness: materials and composites
of normal thickness 50 mm or less should be tested using their full
thickness, attaching them, by means of an adhesive if appropriate,
to the substrate to which they will be attached in practice. For materials
and composites of normal thickness greater than 50 mm, the required
specimens should be obtained by cutting away the unexposed face to
reduce the thickness to
