8. viscosity at a concentration of 60 g/L;

9. viscosity at 25 % concentration at 25 °C;

10. insoluble particles;

11. original light absorption and change of light absorption after heating of plasticized cellulose acetate;

1. the reduction in viscosity ratio on moulding.

NOTE The titles of the publications referred to in this standard are listed on the inside back cover.

Describes the methods for characterizing acetate flame which have been updated in line with internal standards in this area.
