1.1<\/b> This part of ISO 179 specifies a method for determining the Charpy 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.<\/p>\n

1.2<\/b> The method can be 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. It can also be used for the determination of comparative data from similar types of material.<\/p>\n

1.3<\/b> The method has a greater range of applicability than that given in ISO 180[1]<\/sup> and is more suitable for the testing of materials showing interlaminar shear fracture or of materials exhibiting surface effects due to environmental factors.<\/p>\n

1.4<\/b> The method is suitable for use with the following range of materials:<\/p>\n
