18、st Type A Use assemblies as described in Corrosion Resistance, but without filling with brake fluid. Store the assemblies with inlet bore downwards to the following cycle. 16 -0.5 h at +40 3 C and 95 3% relative humidity, followed by 8 -0.5 h at +23 5 C and 95 3% relative humidity. Continue the 24 h
19、 cycle for a total of 12 cycles. Interruption is only possible after a whole cycle. Until continuing the cycle, parts must be stored at +23 5 C and 95 3% relative humidity. After 12 cycles, cylinders are disassembled and evaluated. No corrosion is allowed in the contact area between sealing and cyli

22、isfy applicable laws, rules, regulations and recommendations valid in the country of usage. 5.2 Language. In the event of conflict between the English and domestic language, the English language shall take precedence. 5.3 Inspection and Rejection. Samples of components or materials released to a GM
23、material specification shall be tested for conformity with the requirements of this material specification and approved by the responsible Engineering department prior to commencement of delivery of bulk supplies. A new approval must be received for any changes, e.g., properties, manufacturing proce
24、ss, location of manufacture, etc. If not otherwise agreed, all testing and documentation normally required for initial release must be completed. It is the responsibility of the supplier to inform the customer in a timely manner, without solicitation, and to include documentation of all modification
25、s of materials and/or processes and to apply for a new release. If not otherwise agreed, all release tests shall be repeated and documented by the supplier prior to commencement of delivery of non-conforming bulk supplies. In individual cases, a shorter test can be agreed to between the responsible
26、Engineering department and the supplier. 5.4 Initial Source Approval. No shipments shall be made by any supplier until representative initial production samples have been approved by the appropriate Materials Engineering department(s) as meeting the requirements of this specification. 5.5 Material S
