Preliminary 1 Performance Test Preliminary • The performance test of SMR is to be carried out after a warmup period of 30 minutes. • The values stated hereinafter are not guaranteed values. Only the data sheet specifications are binding. • The values specified in the data sheet are guaranteed limits. To these limits, the tolerances of the instruments used in the performance test must be added because of their measurement uncertainty.
