ISO 48-4:2018

This document specifies a method for determining the indentation hardness (Shore hardness) of vulcanized or thermoplastic rubber using durometers with the following scales:

— the A scale for rubbers in the normal-hardness range;

— the D scale for rubbers in the high-hardness range;

— the AO scale for rubbers in the low-hardness range and for cellular rubbers;

— the AM scale for thin rubber test pieces in the normal-hardness range.

To comply with a standard, you need to quickly understand its issues in order to determine its impact on your activity.

The Requirements department helps you quickly locate within the normative text:

• mandatory clauses to satisfy,
• non-essential but useful clauses to know, such as permissions and recommendations.

The identification of these types of clauses is based on the document "ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2 - Principles and rules of structure and drafting of ISO documents" as well as on a constantly enriched list of verbal forms.
