8.4.2 The test methods described in App.C should be preferred.<br />
8.5 Representative data<br />
8.5.1 If a sufficient number of direct measurements is available, data may be used to establish a set of<br />
representative data for a material property. To be considered representative, data should be based on at least 15<br />
measurements per property. Other materials can be compared against the representative data as described in<br />
[8.6].<br />
8.5.2 Representative data are most useful if they can be used for a fairly wide range of materials. This will also<br />
allow to pool data of different properties that were obtained from slightly different materials. Requirements for<br />
to the individual materials that can be put into one group of representative data are given in Table 4-10:<br />

8.5.3 Examples of representative data are given in Appendices F, G, H and I.<br />
8.6 Qualification against representative data<br />
Reported individually for all properties<br />
8.6.1 It is only necessary to qualify data that are needed in the design analysis and failure criteria.<br />
8.6.2 A property of a laminate may be qualified against representative data if certain requirements are met for<br />
fibres, matrix and sizing:<br />
