After step 7a, when specified in the referencing document, the specimens shall be returned to 25 C at 90% to 98% relative humidity and kept there until the next cycle begins. This sub cycle shall be performed during any
20、five of the first nine cycles. Sub cycles are optional. 5.5.3 Step 7a (cold cycle) When specified, at least 1 hour but not more than 4 hours after the beginning of step 7, the specimens shall be either removed from the humidity chamber, or the temperature of the chamber shall be reduced. Specimens s
