Ageing tests on sealants

Presentation for participants

Reference of the ILC:

AG-X-SE
   

References of test methods:

ISO 9046  ISO 9047  ISO 10590  ISO 10591  ISO 11431
   

Frequency:

For this ILC, there is a risk that the number of registrations is insufficient. So a pre-registration procedure is put in place, as follows:
 

1 - Participants interested in participating pre-register using the registration form. No invoicing is made for this pre-registration;

2 - When at least 10 potential participants have pre-registered, CompaLab asks each of these pre-registrees to confirm their willingness to participate and what are the characteristics for which they commit to provide results;

3 - If at least 8 participants confirm their intention to participate, the CIL organisation concerned is engaged.
                       

Main characteristics:

Loss of adhesion or cohesion after cycling at constant temperature (ISO 9046), after cycling with temperature variations (ISO 9047), after long term tension (ISO 10590), after exposure in water (ISO 10591),
 

after UV exposure (ISO 11431)

Other characteristics:

The standards ASTM C719 (after cycling with temperature variations), ASTM C1135 (after exposure to water), ASTM C1442 (after UV exposure) are not very different from the corresponding ISO reference standards
 

for this ILC.
 

Caution: The number of determinations may be low for the secundary characteristics, what may make inefficient the comparison between laboratories
   

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 numerical results, the statistical computation will provide an assigned value with its attached uncertainty, values of standard deviations for repeatability and reproductibility, limits of alerts for bias and repeatability of the participant, indiviual values for uncertainty of results of participants.

Number of products submitted to tests:

1

Number of samples per participation:

3

Max number of operators per participation:

10 (For this CIL, the type of test and sample size allow to provide results determined by several different operators)

Product submitted to tests:

Sealant

Type of samples:

Sealant

Approximate dimensions of samples:

10x0,3l

Specific preparation to be performed by the participant:

None (other than possible necessity to adapt dimensions of the test specimen to the equipment of the participant)
