sample, the test should be considered invalid or the experiment should be repeated ıf rupture a sample from
an area close to the jaws of the device (TS EN ISO 15630-1).
OR REPLICATED
If the aforementioned criteria does not fulfill, a new series of five samples having representative nominal
diameter is selected. If additional criteria are met for this new series, the material is considered to be in
accordance with these standards. In the absence of criteria provided negativity causes should be
investigated and necessary measures should be taken to remove.

analyzed party.In case of a test result becomes lower than the defined characteristic value, the part assayed
and the test method should be reviewed carefully. If there is an error in the test piece or if there is reason to
believe that an error occurred, the test results should not be taken into account. In this case, a new test must
be performed. In case three current test results are equal to or exceed the identified characteristics
value,these parties are considered to be in accordance with these standards. If results below the defined
characteristic value, the requirements in Article 11.2 shall apply .
