9. Test Report
9.1 Reference Standard
Record the reference standard followed for the test.
9.2 Sample Description
Describe the test sample in detail — composition, hardness, source, batch.
9.3 Specimen Type and Thickness
Report the specimen type (A / B / C / T / CP) and measured thickness in millimetres.
9.4 Tear Strength Value
Record the final tear-strength value of the test sample, rounded to 1 N/mm. For T-type and CP-type specimens, report the tear-strength value separately for each direction, rounded to 1 N/mm, and include the tensile-curve analysis and the value-selection method.
9.5 Conditioning Environment
Record the conditioning temperature, humidity, and time, plus the test laboratory ambient.
9.6 Equipment Identification
Record the tensile testing machine identifier (manufacturer, model, serial number, last calibration date) and the cutting/grinding equipment used in specimen preparation.
9.7 Test Date and Operator
Date and operator identifier.
9.8 Notes
Note any anomalies (specimen defects, atypical tear modes), the number of specimens discarded and the reason, and any deviation from the reference standard.
10. Validity
The test result is valid only if at least four of the five specimens deliver acceptable, recorded results; otherwise, retest with a new conditioning batch.
