Main characteristics

Pass/Fail (6 samples submitted to bending at 90° and 180° with 3 different mandrels of increasing severity:  4t - 2,5t - 1,6t, 2 samples per mandrel)

       

Format of the test results:

For results expressed as Yes/No type, samples are submitted to tests by sets of 2 items, with increasing severity, so that cut-off conditions for failure can be determined. The assessment of the results of participants is achieved by reference to this cut-off.

 

 

Determination of the assigned values (“true values” for each characteristic)

By statistical computation of the totality of the results with possible selection on competence criteria (accreditation, validation by a reference body, quantity of tests performed in the year), test to detect possible collusion, merging of results not obtained in reproductibility conditions, suppression of technically unvalid results.

Type of statistical computation

For results expressed as Yes/No type, samples are submitted to tests by sets of 2 items, with increasing severity, so that cut-off conditions for failure can be determined. The assessment of the results of participants is achieved by reference to this cut-off.
