This standard establishes uniform test methods for testing eletrical connectors.The test methods are designated by numbers assigned in accordance with the following system: - Class of tests: The tests are divided into three classes:environmental, mechanical, and electrical. Within each class,the test methods are numbered as shown below:1001-1999-Environmental tests2001-2999-Mechanical tests3001-3999-Electrical tests - Revision of test methods: Revisions are identified by a becimal point and a number added to the besic method number.Subsequent revisions will be numbered comsecutively.Method of reference:When applicable,test methods herein shall be referenced in the indiviual specification by specifying this standard, the method number,and the details required in the summary paragraph of the applicable method.Th avoid the mecessity for changing specifications that refer to this standard, the decimal number shall not be used when referencing test methods.
