56 laboratory and/or the ITF may refuse to test samples which are damaged or badly prepared. Tests on the surface shall be conducted in accordance with test method ITF CS 01/02 described in Part B, Section 4 of this document. Where samples with an inherent directional pattern are provided for laboratory testing, the supplier shall indicate on the sample the direction in which the surface should be tested. Upon completion of the test, and receipt of payment of the testing fee, the ITF Accredited laboratory shall submit a test report to the ITF for review, save in exceptional circumstances that shall be documented by the laboratory and provided to the ITF at the same time as the report. Test reports should be received by the ITF within one month of the test date. Once approved by the ITF, the ITF Accredited laboratory shall send the report to the customer. 1.3 Application for ITF Classification listing Upon receipt of a valid test report from an ITF Accredited laboratory, the customer may apply to the ITF Technical Centre by email (technical@itftennis.com) for an ITF Classification application form and an invoice for the classification fee. Applications for classification must be received by the ITF within one month of the issue date of an on-site test report, or within six months of the issue date of a laboratory test report. Applications received outside of these timescales will not be accepted for the purposes of ITF Classification. The uncertainty in the pace rating obtained from test method ITF CS 01/02 is ± 2 CPR points, established from 'round-robin' laboratory testing of samples between ITF Accredited laboratories. In recognition of this uncertainty, if the mean CPR value for the test is 2 points from an adjacent category, the customer will be given the choice between the two categories. A final report will then be issued to the customer containing the original and amended category. The classification fees are shown below, including discounts available to members of the ITF Foundation 1 . 1 Conditional on company being a member of the ITF Foundation for the previous two calendar years. Information on membership of the ITF Foundation can be obtained on request to the ITF Technical Centre.
