This part of ISO 8611 presents a procedure for predicting creep responses in stiffness tests for plastic pallets to shorten the test period. Based on regression analyses, deflections during full load and relaxation periods are predicted. This part of ISO 8611 is for use with the static stiffness tests such as tests 1b, 3b, 4b, 5b, and 7b referred to in ISO 8611-1:2011, and is for application at ambient temperature only. Annex A gives an informative example of this process.​
