Yes, NextGen’s Class G Single-Column Charpy & Izod Impact Tester is fully compliant with EN 10045. The system is designed and configured according to the standard’s specifications.

EN 10045 is a European standard developed by CEN for Charpy impact testing. It outlines the procedures and requirements for evaluating the toughness and impact resistance of metallic materials using a standardized notched specimen and pendulum hammer system.

The standard defines key testing parameters such as striker velocity, angle of impact, support span, and specimen dimensions to ensure consistency, accuracy, and comparability of test results. It also includes calibration guidelines and criteria for evaluating absorbed energy and lateral expansion, both of which are essential indicators of material ductility and toughness.

EN 10045 plays a critical role in industries such as metallurgy, construction, automotive, and aerospace, where materials must withstand sudden impacts without failure. It helps manufacturers and engineers classify materials, validate product performance, and maintain quality control.
