8.6.12 The entry “rep” in Table 4-11 means that representative data may be used without testing. In some cases<br />

the representative data shall be multiplied by a factor as indicated in Table 4-11.<br />

8.6.13 Confirm if critical for design means that the value or procedure of the lower safety class may be used<br />

for strength or strain to failure if the material safety factor γ m can be multiplied by 2 for this property in all<br />

relevant failure criteria. Otherwise the property should be confirmed by testing.<br />

8.6.14 Through thickness elastic properties should only be confirmed by testing if they influence the<br />

calculation of a critical strength or strain as defined in [8.6.13]. Otherwise the representative values my be used.<br />

8.6.15 Long term test data of fibre dominated properties do not have to be confirmed if the laminate has<br />

identical fibres, matrix and sizing compared to a laminate for which long term test data exist and the static<br />

similarity tests in [8.6.4] are fulfilled. The requirement to the same matrix and sizing can be waived if<br />

environmental attack on the fibres can be excluded.<br />

8.6.16 Long term test data of matrix dominated properties do not have to be confirmed if the laminate has<br />

identical fibres, matrix and sizing compared to a laminate for which long term test data exist and the static<br />

similarity tests in [8.6.4] are fulfilled.<br />

8.6.17 The procedure of the higher safety class may always be used to obtain better values than can be obtained<br />

by using the procedure of the lower safety class.<br />

8.6.18 If any of the confirmation tests show that the material is not similar to the representative material, all<br />

properties shall be re-qualified.<br />

8.6.19 A full experimental determination of a property may always be used as an alternative to using<br />

representative data or confirmation testing.<br />

8.7 Confirmation testing for static data<br />

Mechanical parameter Low safety class Normal safety class High safety<br />

8.7.1 If a material is similar to a material for which representative data exist (as described above) two methods<br />

can be used to demonstrate that the similar material is at least as good as the typical material. One is a simplified<br />

method, the other is similar data hypothesis testing.<br />

8.7.2 At least three measurements of the property in question shall be made in all cases. It is recommended to<br />

test five or more specimens.<br />

8.7.3 For the simplified method the following requirements shall be fulfilled:<br />

confirm if critical<br />

for design<br />

— the standard deviation estimated from at least three measurements shall not be larger than the standard<br />

deviation of the corresponding typical data<br />

— at least 50% of the measured values shall be larger than the mean of the typical data<br />

— at least 84% of the measured values shall be larger than the mean - 1 standard deviation of the typical data<br />

— at least 97.7% of the measured values shall be larger than the mean - 2 standard deviations of the typical<br />

data.<br />

8.7.4 If a material is similar to a material for which representative data exist (as described above) the<br />

hypothesis testing can be used to determine whether test data can be considered to belong to the same<br />

population.<br />

8.7.5 Let µ 0 denote the mean value of the typical data, and let σ 0 denote the standard deviation of the typical<br />

data. Calculate:<br />

n( x − µ<br />

0<br />

)<br />

T =<br />

where x is the mean value of the n measurements of the material to be checked for similarity.<br />
