Standardization by test family
All the standards relating to the main families of thermomechanical test methods and specimen preparation are listed below, with the exception of those for reinforced plastics, which are covered in Doc. AM 5 405. The main French (NF), American (ASTM) and international (ISO) standards are listed. Please note that NF, ISO and ASTM standards for the same application are not necessarily identical in terms of...
