In plain words
Good for
Guards and electrical housings.
Not for
Acids, alkalis and some solvents.
Upright is weaker
A printed part is strongest along its layers (flat, X-Y) and weaker across them (upright, Z). The table shows both. We turn the part so the load runs along the layers.

The maker's data sheet prints a lower number at the light load than at the heavier load, which is the reverse of normal. We show it as printed and use the lower number on our materials table.
Test conditions from the data sheet: Mechanical Properties (Dry state); specimens annealed and dried at 80 °C for 12 hours before testing. These are lab numbers for test bars, not a working limit for your part. The real limit depends on the load, the time at temperature and the shape, which is why we ask about all three.
