5 Test methods 5.1 Sampling Test specimens shall be taken from the same sample which shall be at least one full board. 5.2 Conditioning For test specimens consisting of full boards, no conditioning is needed unless otherwise specified in the test standard. In case of dispute, the test specimens shall be stored at (23 ± 2) °C and (50 ± 5) % relative humidity for at least six weeks prior to testing. For FPC no special conditioning of the test specimens is needed. When cut from boards, except for 5.3.2, test specimens shall be stored in an atmosphere of (23 ± 2) °C and (50 ± 5) % relative humidity until stabilisation at constant weight is achieved. Stabilisation is obtained when the relative change in weight does not exceed 0,5 % between two consecutive weekly measurements. In case of dispute, the following stepwise procedure shall be carried out:  Step 1 (dry reference): The specimens are stored for 72 h at (70 ± 2) °C, in an oven ventilated with an air taken at (23 ± 2) °C and (50 ± 5) % relative humidity, and then weighed. The mass of the test specimen at Step 1 is m23,dry.  Step 2 (normal reference): After conditioning according to step 1, the specimens are stored in an atmosphere of (23 ± 2) °C and (50 ± 5) % relative humidity until stabilisation, and then weighed. Stabilisation, by definition, takes at least six weeks with some additional time so that the relative change in moisture does not increase by more than 5 % between two consecutive weekly measurements. The mass of the test specimen at Step 2 is m23,50. SIST EN 13169:2013
