1.1 This test method determines the resistance of transparent plastics and transparent coatings utilized in windows or viewing ports, to surface abrasion using oscillating sand.

1.2 This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety and health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.

Plastic materials, when used as transparencies, covers, or enclosures, are subject to wiping, cleaning, or other types of rubbing actions that cause abrasion. It is the intent of this test method to provide a means of estimating the resistance of such materials to this type and degree of abrasion.
