ISO 1920-5 Determination of Tensile Splitting Strength Laboratory Testing Service

Provided by Eurolab: Understanding the Test Requirements, Methodology, Reporting, and Benefits

The ISO 1920-5 standard is a widely recognized and adopted international standard for determining the tensile splitting strength of materials. This standard is developed and published by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO), which is a non-profit organization that brings together experts from over 160 countries to develop and publish voluntary consensus standards.

Legal and Regulatory Framework

The ISO 1920-5 standard is governed by various national and international regulations, including the EUs Machinery Directive, the CE marking requirements, and the EUs Construction Products Regulation. Compliance with these regulations is mandatory for manufacturers and suppliers of materials, construction products, and machinery.

International and National Standards

The ISO 1920-5 standard is part of a broader series of standards known as ISO 1920, which covers various aspects of tensile testing. Other relevant national and international standards include:

  • ASTM E6: Standard Test Methods for Determining the Elastic Properties of Plastics

  • EN 1531: Tensile Testing Machine - Requirements for Testing Machines

  • TSE (Turkish Standards Institution) EN 1531: Tensile Testing Machine - Requirements for Testing Machines

    • Standard Development Organizations

    The ISO 1920-5 standard is developed by the Technical Committee (TC) 164, which is responsible for developing standards related to testing methods. The TC 164 comprises experts from various countries and industries who collaborate to develop and review standards.

    How Standards Evolve and Get Updated
