9.3 Structural core temperature

 In the case of load-bearing divisions of aluminium alloy, the average temperature of the structural core obtained by the thermocouples described in 7.6 should not rise more than 200°C above its initial temperature at any time during the minimum test duration relevant to the classification (see 8.5). Where the structural core is of a material other than steel or aluminium alloy the Administration should decide the rise in temperature which should not be exceeded during the test duration.
