4.1 General

 The test specimen should not be tested until it has reached an air-dry condition. This condition is defined as an equilibrium (constant weight) with an ambient atmosphere of 50% relative humidity at 23°C.

 Accelerated conditioning is permissible provided the method does not alter the properties of component materials. In general, high-temperature conditioning should be below temperatures critical for the materials.
