Tests shall be carried out on a sample taken at random from each batch of finished sleeving.
A batch of sleeving is defined as that quantity of sleeving extruded at any one time.
Testing frequency shall be Production Routine, 10th Batch or Qualification. Production Routine
tests consisting of Visual Examination, Dimensions and Longitudinal Change shall be carried
out on every batch of sleeving. 10th batch tests shall consist of Tensile Strength, Ultimate
Elongation, Secant Modulus at 2% Strain and Specific Gravity.
Qualification tests shall be carried out to the requirements of the Design Authority.
Packaging shall be in accordance with good commercial practice. Each package shall bear an
identification label showing material quantity, description, size, colour and batch number.
Additional information shall be supplied as specified in the contract or order.
