Standard Test Method for Temperature-Change Resistance of Clear Nitrocellulose Lacquer Films Applied to Wood (Withdrawn 2006)

SCOPE
1.1 This test method covers determination of the resistance to checking and cracking of clear nitrocellulose lacquer films applied to wood or plywood substrates when subjected to sudden changes from high to low temperatures.  
1.2 This standard does not purport to address all of the safety problems, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety and health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.>
WITHDRAWN RATIONALE
This test method covers determination of the resistance to checking and cracking of clear nitrocellulose lacquer films applied to wood or plywood substrates when subjected to sudden changes from high to low temperatures.
Formerly under the jurisdiction of Committee D01 on Paint and Related Coatings, Materials and Applications, this test method was withdrawn in February 2006 in accordance with section 10.5.3.1 of the Regulations Governing ASTM Technical Committees, which requires that standards shall be updated by the end of the eighth year since the last approval date.
