4.3.6 Compressive creep Compressive creep, X ct, and total thickness reduction, Xt, shall be determined after at least one hundred twenty two days of testing at a declared compressive stress, σc, given in steps of at least 1 kPa, and the results extrapolated thirty times, corresponding to ten years, to obtain the declared levels in accordance with EN 1606. Compressive creep shall be declared in levels, i2, and the total thickness reduction shall be declared in levels, i1, with steps of 0,5 % at the declared stress. No test result shall exceed the declared levels at the declared stress. NOTE 1 Referring to the designation code CC(i1/i2/y)σc, according to Clause 6, a declared level CC(2/1,5/50)100, for example, indicates a value not exceeding 1,5 % for compressive creep and 2 % for total thickness reduction after extrapolation at 50 years (i.e. 30 times six hundred eight days of testing) under a declared stress of 100 kPa.
