Foreword
IS0 (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards bodies
(IS0 member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through IS0
technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical committee has been
established has the right to be represented on that committee. International organizations, governmental and
non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. IS0 collaborates closely with the
International Electrotechnical Commission (i EC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization.
International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2.
The main task of technical committees is to prepare International Standards. Draft International Standards
adopted by the technical committees are circulated to the member bodies for voting. Publication as an
International Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the member bodies casting a vote.
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent
rights. IS0 shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
Amendment 1 to IS0 179-1:2000 was prepared by Technical Committee ISOíTC 61, Plastics, Subcommittee
SC 2, Mechanical properties.

IS0 179-1 :2000(E)
Foreword
IS0 (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards bodies (IS0
member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through IS0 technical
committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical committee has been established has
the right to be represented on that committee. International organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in
liaison with ISO, also take pari in the work. IS0 collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical
Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization.
International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 3.
Draft International Standards adopted by the technical committees are circulated to the member bodies for voting.
Publication as an International Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the member bodies casting a vote.
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this part of IS0 179 may be the subject of patent
rights. IS0 shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
International Standard IS0 179-1 was prepared by Technical Committee ISOTTC 61, Plastics, Subcommittee SC 2,
Mechanical properties.
It cancels and replaces IS0 179:1993, which has been technically revised.
IS0 179 consists of the following parts, under the general title Plastics - Determination of Charpy impact

- Part 1: Non-instrumented impact test
- Part 2: Instrumented impact test

INTERNATIONAL STANDARD IS0 179-1 :2000(E)
Plastics - Determination of Charpy impact properties -
Part 1:
Non-instrumented impact test
1 Scope
1.1 This part of IS0 179 specifies a method for determining the Charpy impact strength of plastics under defined
conditions. A number of different types of specimen and test configurations are defined. Different test parameters
are specified according to the type of material, the type of test specimen and the type of notch.
1.2 The method is used to investigate the behaviour of specified types of specimen under the impact conditions
defined and for estimating the brittleness or toughness of specimens within the limitations inherent in the test
conditions. It may also be used for the determination of comparative data from similar types of material.
1.3 The method has a greater range of applicability than that given in IS0 180') and is more suitable for the
testing of materials showing interlaminar shear fracture or of materials exhibiting surface effects due to
environmental factors.
1.4 The method is suitable for use with the following range of materials:
- rigid thermoplastic moulding and extrusion materials, including filled and reinforced compounds in addition to
unfilled types; rigid thermoplastics sheets:
- rigid thermosetting moulding materials, including filled and reinforced compounds: rigid thermosetting sheets,
i including laminates;
- fibre-reinforced thermosetting and thermoplastic composites incorporating unidirectional or non-unidirectional
reinforcements such as mat, woven fabrics, woven rovings, chopped strands, combination and hybrid
reinforcements, rovings and milled fibres, sheet made from pre-impregnated materials (prepregs), including
filled and reinforced compounds:
- thermotropic liquid-crystal polymers.
1.5 The method is not normally suitable for use with rigid cellular materials and sandwich structures containing
cellular material. Also, notched specimens are not normally used for long-fibre-reinforced composites or
thermotropic liquid-crystal polymers.
1.6 The method is suited to the use of specimens which may be either moulded to the chosen dimensions,
machined from the central portion of a standard multipurpose test specimen (see IS0 3167) or machined from
finished or semifinished products such as mouldings, laminates and extruded or cast sheet.
1.7 The method specifies preferred dimensions for the test specimen. Tests which are carried out on specimens
of different dimensions or with different notches, or specimens which are prepared under different conditions, may
produce results which are not comparable. Other factors, such as the energy capacity of the apparatus, its impact

velocity and the conditioning of the specimens can also influence the results. Consequently, when comparative
data are required, these factors must be carefully controlled and recorded.
1.8 The method should not be used as a source of data for design calculations. Information on the typical
behaviour of a material can be obtained, however, by testing at different temperatures, by varying the notch radius
and/or the thickness and by testing specimens prepared under different conditions.
