30、 400 N. The force shall be applied at the middle of the upper bar and perpendicular to its length. 4.4 Vertical stiffness and residual deflection When each bar is tested in accordance with 5.3 using a force of 1 350 N 50 N, the deflection of each bar shall be a minimum of 40 mm and a maximum of 100
31、mm.
