a) The average of 6 test pieces is not less than the specified value;
b) The quantity of such test pieces with test result less than the specified value does not exceed 2;
c) The quantity of such test pieces with test result less than 70% of the specified value does not exceed 1.
If the above-mentioned conditions are not met, the test unit will be judged as unacceptable.
4.6 Reinspection and judgment rules
4.6.1 Sequential testing (impact test, etc.)
If the test results are unacceptable according to the evaluation methods of impact test result specified in 4.5, the sample products with unacceptable test results shall be picked out and discarded, then 2 sample products shall be taken from the remaining part of this test unit and a group of three test pieces shall be taken from each of the sample product, and the test results of the two groups of test pieces shall be acceptable; otherwise, this test unit shall be rejected.
4.6.2 Non-sequential testing (tensile test, bend test, etc.)
4.6.2.1 If the unacceptable result are not calculated according to averages, but measured during the test (e.g., tensile test, bend test, etc.), the following methods shall be adopted:
