I believe this is relatively new thinking on the subject. Materials simply differ to much for a 'blanket' requirement to be valid. Consider what voltage 0.4 mm of PET film will withstand, compared with 0.4 mm of PVC. > However, some >product-specific standards do specify a minimum thickness, without >investigation. I suppose these are standards that have not yet been revised to take in the new thinking. -- Regards, John Woodgate, OOO - Own Opinions Only. The good news is that nothing is compulsory.
