——The index requirements and determination methods for impact absorption, vertical deformation and skid resistance value of the product are added (see 4.1.4 and Annexes A, B and C);
——The requirements and determination method for environmental protective performance are added (see 4.2.2, 5.7, 5.8 and Annex E).
This standard was proposed by China Petroleum and Chemical Industry Federation.
This standard is under the jurisdiction of SAC/TC 35/SC 7 National Technical Committee on Rubber & Products of Standardization Administration of China, Subcommittee on Rubber Goods.
The previous edition of the standard replaced by this standard is as follows:
