— terms under 3.1 'sample', 3.2 'specimen' and 3.3 'test-rig', 3.4 'sash width', 3.5 'sach height' added;
— under 4.1 classification system changed completely; former digits 1 (Category of use), 4 (Fire
resistance), 5 (Safety in use), 7 (security) and 8 (Application) deleted; former digit 2 changed into
box 1 (Durability), former digit 3 changed into box 2 (Mass), former digit 6 changed into box 3
(Corrosion resistance), former digit 9 changed into box 4 (Test sizes);
— under 4.2 new grades for the number of cycles defined; H1 (5 000), H2 (10 000) and H3 (20 000);
see also 5.2;
— under Clause 4.6 new example added for the new classification;
— under 5.2 new grades for the number of cycles defined; H1 (5 000), H2 (10 000) and H3 (20 000) in
accordance with 4.2 established;
— under 5.4 clause for corrosion resistance added;
— under 6 headline modified with “…and preparation for the test”;
