The test may be carried out on “as-moulded" rods, or on rods intended for inspection and quality control of rovings or for evaluating their suitability for use in a resin system. The results obtained are not intended for the generation of design data. 2 Normativereferences The following referenced documents are indispensable for the application of this document.
