Rubber - General procedures for preparing
and conditioning test pieces for physical test
methods
(Second revision)
(ISO 23529:2016, IDT)
This document specifies general procedures for the preparation, measurement, marking, storage, and
conditioning of rubber test pieces for use in physical tests specified in other International Standards,
and the preferred conditions to be used during the tests. Special conditions, applicable to a particular
test or material or simulating a particular climatic environment, are not included, nor are special
requirements for testing whole products.
This document also specifies the requirements for the time interval to be observed between forming
and testing of rubber test pieces and products. Such requirements are necessary to obtain reproducible
test results and to minimize disagreements between customer and supplier.
