Scope

This Standard specifies a test method for determining rates of ageing due to heat exposure in degradable plastics.
After being subjected to the heat exposure, the plastic specimens are tested under AS 4828.2 to determine a brittle point.
This Standard does not predict thermal aging characteristics where interactions between street, environment, temperature, and time control failure are factors.
The results of this test method are to be used for comparative and ranking purposes of test specimens only.
