This Standard specifies the determination method of heat ageing properties of vulcanized rubber and thermoplastic rubber according to the accelerated ageing test and/or the heat resistance test. The test methods include the following Method A and Method B. 

a) Method A the method using the forced circulation type heat ageing test machine provided with an air blower 

b) Method B the method using the cell type heat ageing test machine or the natural ventilation type heat ageing test machine in which the air in test oven is ventilated by convection 

NOTE: The International Standard corresponding to this Standard and the symbol of degree of correspondence are as follows.
