1   Scope

   1.1    This International Standard specifies two methods (method A and method B) for the determination of the tensile-impact strength of plastics under defined conditions. The tests can be described as tensile tests at relatively high strain rates. These methods can be used for rigid materials (as defined in [ISO 472](/search?q=ISO%C2%A0472)), but are especially useful for materials too flexible or too thin to be tested with impact tests conforming to [ISO 179](/search?q=ISO%C2%A0179) or [ISO 180](/search?q=ISO%C2%A0180).
