Only one FMD package is required per trade name approved, FMD is not required for each manufacturing site. FMD is required for new site approvals that do not have an existing

12、 FMD record 3.2 CONDITIONING AND TEST CONDITIONS All test values indicated herein are based on material and specimens with moisture content not exceeding 0.2% except where noted (Moisture Conditioned) (test according to ISO 15512 Method B/ASTM D6869). All test materials have to be sealed in moisture

13、-proof containers and stored at 23 +/- 2 C for at least 24 h immediately after processing. If the moisture content exceeds 0.2%, condition the material for a minimum of 16 h at 40 50 C at a reduced pressure below 133 KPa. Conduct tests in a controlled atmosphere of 23 +/- 2 C and 50 +/- 5% relative

14、humidity. Individual specimens shall not be removed from closed containers until immediately before testing 3.3 INFRARED SPECTROPHOTOMETRY AND/OR THERMAL ANALYSIS IR spectra and thermograms from initial material approval shall constitute the reference standard and shall be kept on file at the design

15、ated material laboratory. The material supplier shall ensure that all future material supplied to the specification shall produce IR spectra and thermograms that correspond to the reference standard when tested under the same conditions. 3.4 STANDARD REQUIREMENTS FOR PRODUCTION MATERIALS 3.4.1 Many

16、4D resin specifications prior to 2011, identified certain requirements with the symbol (s), which indicated that the mean and +/- 3 sigma values were to be reported. The specification minimum, maximum or range was established using 3 sigma data. For 2011 and beyond, refer to Table 1 for number of sa

17、mples required for each test. 3.4.2 WSS-M4D673-B1 is based on virgin materials.
