The sample shall be prepared by removing 50 mm of the width at each end of the sample in the transverse direction. 5.2 Conditioning and test environment Unless otherwise specified, the specimen should be GB/T 2918- -2018 in accordance with the provisions of the temperature of 23 C to 2 C, relative humidity of 50% to 10% of the standard environment for state conditioning, the time should not be less than 4h, and in this environment for the test. 5.3 Tensile load and elongation at break The test shall be conducted in accordance with the provisions of method A of GB/T 38612- 2020. 5.4 Tear load Test according to the provisions of GB/T 16578.1- 2008. The test speed is 200 mm/ min and 10 mm/ min, and the test result is the arithmetic mean of the maximum load of three specimens, accurate to 0.1 N. 5.5 Abrasion resistance The test was carried out in accordance with QB/T2726-2005. CS10 grinding wheel, load weight 1000g, equipment friction rotation speed 70r/min, 4000 rpm of friction. At the end of the test, the specimen was removed and the abrasion resistance of the specimen was visually determined according to Table 2. 5.6 Fastness to folding Test according to QB/T2714-2018 in the dry state. 5.7 Hydrolysis resistance Test according to QB/T 4671- 2014, method A, test time 1334 h, after the test according to GB/T 250- 2008 After the test, the fading grade shall be determined according to GB/T 250-2008. 5.8 Cold resistance Test according to the provisions of method A in GB/T38465-2020. 5.9 Chemical media resistance The test shall be carried out in accordance with the provisions of 6.29 of QB/T 4043- 2010. 5.10 Lightfastness The test shall be carried out in accordance with the provisions of test method A in QB/T 4873- 2015, where A2 is selected as the test condition. 5.11 Thermal ageing resistance The test shall be carried out in accordance with the provisions of QB/T 4043- 2010, 6.24. The oven temperature is 100 C to 2 C and the test time is 168 h. After the test, take out the specimen and make the following judgment: Observe the surface changes of the specimen and visually determine the level of discolouration under the standard light source according to GB/T250-2008, with the most serious surface discoloration as the test results. 5.12 Surface colour migration The test shall be conducted in accordance with the provisions of method A of QB/T5157-2017. 5.13 Colour fastness to rubbing Test according to the provisions of QB/T2537-2001. 5.14 Flame resistance Test according to the provisions of GB8410. 5.15 Fogging value Test according to the provisions of method B in QB/T5068-2017. 5.16 Odour Test according to the provisions of condition 4 of Table 1 in QB/T5447-2019. 5.17 Free and hydrolysed formaldehyde Test according to the provisions of GB/T2912.1-2009. 5.18 Decomposable aromatic amine dyes Test according to the provisions of GB/T 19942- 2019. 5.19 Heavy metals 5.19.1 Hexavalent chromium Test according to QC/T942-2013. 5.19.2 Lead Test according to QC/T 943- 2013. 5.19.3 Cadmium Test according to QC/T 943-2013. 5.19.4 Mercury Test according to QC/T941-2013. 5.20 Polybrominated biphenyls and polybrominated diphenyl ethers Test according to QC/T944-2013. 5.21 Volatile organic compounds Test according to the provisions of QB/T5354-2018. 6 Test rules 6.1 Batch quantity Products are accepted in batches.
