Incorporated at the Time of Test
Incorporated at the Time of Test : This is another way to say 'bounded'. For instance, when a through penetration in an assembly required to have a fire-resistance rating is mandated to be 'incorporated at the time of test', what that means is that the installed configuration must be bounded by a certification listing, meaning that all its components must be sized, located and installed within the maximum and minimum tolerances of the certification listing. It is also mandatory for bounding that the manufacturer's instructions in terms of workmanship, temperature ranges etc. , must be adhered to. This way, what is installed in the field is actually covered, or bounded by the test. If bounding were adhered to, our fire statistics would likely be a lot less grim
