This document specifies a method for determining the Charpy impact resistance of plastics under defined conditions. Many different specimen types and test configurations are defined. Various test parameters are specified depending on the type of material, type of specimen and type of notch. This method may be used to study the behavior of specified types of specimens subjected to defined impact conditions and to estimate the fragility or toughness of specimens within the limits inherent in the test conditions. It can also be used to determine comparative results specific to similar types of materials.
