                          A change of temperature test is intended to determine the effect on the specimen of a change
                          of temperature or a succession of changes of temperature.
                          It is not intended to show effects which are due only to high or low temperatures. For these
                          effects, the dry heat test or the cold test should be used.
                           The effect of such tests is determined by
                                  values of high and low conditioning temperature between which the change is to be
                                  effected,
                          -       the conditioning times for which the test specimen is kept at these temperatures,
                          -       the rate of change between these temperatures,
                          -       the number of cycles of conditioning,
                          -       the amount of heat transfer into or from the specimen.
                          Guidance on the choice of suitable test parameters for inclusion in the detail specification is
                          given throughout this standard.
