ISO 48-2 is an international standard that defines the method for determining the hardness of rubber and plastic materials using a durometer. It specifies the requirements for the apparatus, the test conditions, the procedure for measuring the hardness of the material, as well as the expression of results.

This version is part of the ISO 48 series of standards for determining the hardness of rubber and plastic materials, which provides guidelines for various hardness testing methods, including the Shore A and Shore D test methods. The ISO 48-2 standard covers the Shore A test method, which measures the hardness of soft to medium-hard rubbers and other flexible materials.

The ISO 48-2 standard is widely used in various industries, including automotive, aerospace, and construction, to evaluate the performance and durability of rubber and plastic products. By following the requirements specified in this standard, manufacturers and engineers can ensure that the hardness measurements of their products are accurate, reliable, and consistent.
