Abstract
Among the selection tests for plastic materials used in Telecommunication equipments, the Centre National d'Etudes des Telecommunications is conducting a smokes corrosivity test. The corrosivity is evaluated from the corrosive effect of combustion products condensed out on a test piece which consists of a resistance etched on a copper-plated laminated base plate.
