ISO 527 — Tensile Properties of Plastics (ISO 527 Series)

← Back to all standards

ISO 527 is the multi-part ISO series for determining the tensile properties of plastics and plastic composites. The individual parts give the general principles and material-specific conditions. To match this to your program, talk with our team.

What the ISO 527 Series Covers

The series is the primary framework for plastics tensile testing worldwide. It is organized so that the general method sits in one part and the conditions for specific material forms sit in others.

The Parts You Will Cite

Use the part that matches your material: ISO 527-1 for the general principles, ISO 527-2 for moulding and extrusion plastics, and ISO 527-3 for films and sheets.

Reading the Designation

Cited as ISO 527 with a part and year, for example ISO 527-2. Confirm the part that applies to your material. To configure plastics tensile testing, request a quote.

Related Standards

ISO 527-1 is the general part and ASTM D638 is the ASTM plastics tensile method.
