ISO 527

ISO 527 is an international standard that outlines methods for the determination of the tensile properties of plastics.  It is similar in principle to ASTM D638.  This standard is divided into several parts: are: 

1) General Principles

2) Test Conditions for Moulding and Extrusion Plastics

3) Determination of Tensile Properties of Films and Sheets

4) Determination of Tensile Properties of isotropic and Orthotropic Fibre-Reinforced Plastic Composites

5) Test Conditions for Unidirectional Fibre-Reinforced Plastic Composites

6) Measurement of Strain Distribution of Randomly Oriented Chopped Strand or Fibre-Reinforced Plastic Composites
