PREFACE
This is a free 3 page sample. Access the full version at http://infostore.saiglobal.com.

This Standard was prepared by the Standards Australia Committee RU-003, Analysis and Testing of
Elastomers to supersede AS 1683.26—1994 Methods of test for elastomers Method 26: Rubber,
vulcanized—Accelerated ageing or heat-resistance tests.
The objective of this Standard is to provide manufacturers and users of elastomeric materials with a
method for accelerated ageing and heat resistance tests as vulcanized or thermoplastic rubbers.
This Standard is identical with and has been reproduced from ISO 188:1998, Rubber, vulcanized or
thermoplastic—Accelerated ageing and heat resistance tests.
The term ‘informative’ has been used in this Standard to define the application of the annex to which
it applies. An ‘informative’ annex is only for information and guidance.
As this Standard is reproduced from an international Standard, the following applies:
(a) Its number appears on the cover and title page while the International Standard number appears
only on the cover.
(b) In the source text, ‘this International Standard’ should read ‘this Australian Standard’.
(c) A full point substitutes for a comma when referring to a decimal marker.
References to international Standards should be replaced by equivalent Australian Standards as
follows:
