EN 10002-1 — Tensile testing of metallic materials (ambient temperature)

← Back to all standards

EN 10002-1 is the European tensile-test method for metallic materials at ambient temperature. It has been superseded by ISO 6892-1, which now carries the same room-temperature method across Europe. To align an EN 10002-1 requirement with the current standard, talk with our team.

What EN 10002-1 Covers

The method defines room-temperature tensile testing of metals and the determination of properties from the stress-strain curve. Its technical content flowed into the current ISO standard.

Current Replacement

New work should follow ISO 6892-1, the harmonized successor. Specifications and drawings that still cite EN 10002-1 can be satisfied by testing to ISO 6892-1 with documented equivalence.

Properties Reported

Proof or yield strength, ultimate tensile strength, elongation, and reduction of area, as in the current ISO method.

Reading the Designation

Cited as EN 10002-1 with its year. Confirm whether the controlling document has moved to ISO 6892-1.

Related Standards

ISO 6892-1 is the current successor, and ASTM E8/E8M is the ASTM room-temperature method.
