See test method in 6.6. 6 Test methods 6.1 General If no specific methods are specified compliance with the requirements of this European Standard shall be exam-ined by measurement, visual inspection and tactile examination. For the tests new protectors shall be used. Measuring instruments unless otherwise specified shall be accurate to ± 2 % of the pass/fail level of the charac-teristic being measured. For each of the required sequences of measurements performed in accordance with this European Standard a corresponding estimate of the uncertainty of the final result shall be determined. The uncertainty of measure-ment shall be expressed in the form ± X. It shall be used in determining whether a "Pass" performance has been achieved. If the final result minus X is below the pass level when the requirement, that a certain value shall be exceeded, the sample shall be deemed to have failed. NOTE It is anticipated that values of uncertainty of measurement will be usually between 2 % and 5 % of the measured value for force and length measurements. 6.2 Sampling and conditioning of the test samples Two pairs of protectors of each size manufactured shall be provided for testing. Where only one size of a protector is manufactured 4 pairs of that protector shall be provided for testing. The test samples shall be supplied to the test house with the information regarding the body dimensions of the intended user. Before testing, all protectors shall be cleaned 3 times according to the information supplied by the manufacturer. This shall be recorded in the test report. The test samples shall be conditioned for at least 24 h at an atmosphere with a temperature of (20 ± 2) °C and a relative humidity of (65 ± 5) %. Testing shall be carried out in the conditioning environment or within 10 min of removal from the environment. SIST EN 15613:2008
