Conditions of contact in worst foreseeable useTest conditions
(1)

The period of time which represents the worst foreseeable conditions of contact.

(2)

This temperature shall be used only for simulant D. For simulant A, B or C the test may be replaced by a test at 100°C or at reflux temperature for a duration of four times the time selected in accordance with paragraph 1 of this Part.
