This European Standard describes a thermal vacuum test to determine the outgassing properties of materials proposed for use in the fabrication of spacecraft and associated equipment, for vacuum facilities used for flight hardware tests and for certain launcher hardware. This Standard covers the following: critical design parameters of the test system; critical test parameters such as temperature, time, pressure; material sample preparation; conditioning parameters for samples and collector plates; presentation of data; acceptance criteria; certification of test systems and their operators and round robin tests. The test described in this Standard is applica
