1.1 This International Standard specifies a procedure for determining the lowest temperature at which fabrics coated with rubber or plastics will not exhibit fractures or coating cracks when subjected to specific impact conditions. 1.2 Fabrics coated with rubber or plastics are used in many applications involving low-temperature flexing with or without impact. Data obtained by this method may be used to predict the behaviour of these coated fabrics at low temperatures only in the applications in which the conditions of deformation are similar to those specified in the method.
