本SAE推荐规程定义了粘结组件可暴露于模拟环境老化的条件。这些建议通常基于目前现有的原始设备制造商要求。（本提案使用的环境规范来自通用汽车、福特和克莱斯勒。）基材类型、尺寸和数量由被测材料的标准描述，并应包括未经环境老化的对照试样。

This SAE Recommended Practice defines conditions to which bonded assemblies can be exposed to simulate environmental aging. These recommendations are generally based on existing Original Equipment Manufacturer requirements at this time. (Environmental specifications used for this proposal were from General Motors, Ford, and Chrysler.) The substrate type, dimension, and number are described by the standard for materials being tested and should include control specimens which receive no environmental aging.
