ISO 8256 is an ISO standard that is focused determining the tensile-impact strength of plastics. It provides a standardized testing procedure to evaluate how plastics perform when subjected to combined tensile stress and impact loads.

The standard outlines a detailed process for conducting a tensile-impact test. This involves applying controlled tensile forces to plastic specimens while measuring fracture energy. By quantifying the absorbed energy, the test provides valuable insights into the material’s ability to withstand sudden impacts while under tension.

ISO 8256 ensures consistency and reliability by establishing uniform test conditions, specimen dimensions, and calculation methods. Adhering to this standard enables meaningful comparisons of tensile-impact strength across different plastic materials. This allows manufacturers, researchers, and quality control professionals to make informed decisions about material selection based on their specific application requirements.

Class J – Charpy and Izod Automatic Impact Testing System complies with ISO 8256  standard.
