BS EN ISO 180:2023

This standard BS EN ISO 180:2023 Plastics. Determination of Izod impact strength is classified in these ICS categories:

• 83.080.01 Plastics in general

This document specifies a method for determining the Izod impact strength of plastics under defined conditions. A number of different types of specimen and test configurations are defined. Different test parameters are specified according to the type of material, the type of test specimen and the type of notch. The method is used to investigate the behaviour of specified types of specimen under the impact conditions defined and for estimating the brittleness or toughness of specimens within the limitations inherent in the test conditions.
