This document provides the requirements for the tests made on welded thermoplastics semi-finished products.
The selection of the appropriate test method(s) is made in accordance with the particular type and application of welded product.
The test results depend on the conditions of manufacture for the test specimen and on the test conditions. They can therefore only be related to the behaviour of the product or can only be used for designing a structure, if the test conditions can be related to the service conditions.
