surfaces specified in Table 101.

Replace the existing note by the following:
NOTE 101 The probe can be held in place using a laboratory stand clamp or similar device.
11.8 In the addition, replace the first paragraph by the following new text and new table:

corner side wall. The test is repeated for 1 cycle.
e
Temperature rises are not measured on
