Such tests establish arbitrary standards of quality and they cannot be held to give positive information of

18、 any performance beyond or outside the test periods and test conditions. Where the required operating conditions differ materially from the test conditions specified herein, reference should be made to the manufacturers regarding the suitability of a component for a particular purpose. In general, l
