Bending test. The replacement steering wheel is exposed to a temperature of at least - 15°C ± 2°C for 16 hours. The replacement steering wheel is then mounted with its hub on a rigid shaft and the steering wheel rim is subjected to a static loading of 70 ▇▇▇ ± 0.5 ▇▇▇ acting perpendicular to the plane of the rim. The test loading must be applied on the rim and between two spokes that confine the greatest angle. This test may not leave any permanent deformation on the rim of the replacement steering wheel that would be greater than 8 per cent of the steering wheel diameter. There must be no signs of any cracks or fractures, which will affect the operational safety of the steering wheel.
