ISO 179 is the earlier ISO Charpy impact method for rigid plastics. It has been replaced by the current ISO 179 parts, so new work references those. To match this to your program, talk with our team.
What ISO 179 Covered
The original ISO 179 defined the pendulum Charpy impact test for rigid plastics. Its content is carried forward in the current parts.
Current Replacement
Use ISO 179-1 for the general method and ISO 179-2 for instrumented testing. Legacy references to ISO 179 map onto these.
Reading the Designation
Cited as ISO 179 with its year. Confirm whether the current ISO 179-1 is expected. To configure impact testing, request a quote.
Related Standards
ISO 179-1 is the current Charpy method for plastics and ISO 179-2 adds instrumentation.
