Temperature tolerances in ISO 23529 are± 1 °C up to and including 100 °C± 2 °C 100 °C and up± 2 h time tolerance at test times 1 week or longer
1 °C wrong temperature corresponds to 10 % in testing time at an Arrheniusfactor of 2, or 15 % at a factor of 2,5.
This means that two laboratories can be 60 % from each other at a test at 125 °C and still be within the specification.

An ITP programme started last year within ISO TC 45/SC2.
The objective is to perform ITP:s for allcommon Rubber test methods in a 4-year cycle.
The responsibility to organize the ITP:s will berotated between the participating laboratories
This will be a service for accredited laboratories who needs to participate in ITP.s and the results will be included in the ISO test methods as precision clauses.

Today when requirements for quality are increasing and tolerances are tightened, we need to be able to measure more accurately.
To meet this requirement we need to activelyparticipate in the national and international standardisation work to improve the test methods.
