Rationale: AMS5640W is the result of a Five-Year Review and update of the specification. The revision prohibits unauthorized exceptions (3.6, 4.4.4, 5.2.1.1, 8.6), updates in the composition test methods and reporting (3.1, 3.1.1), removes strain rate control during testing (3.3.1.2), removes condition as a periodic test (4.2.2), provides guidance on the use of AS1182 (8.4), and allows prior revisions (8.5).
