What is ISO 23529 - Preparing and conditioning test pieces about?
ISO 23529 is an international standard used for rubber that specifies the preparation of test pieces or test specimens which are useful in conducting physical tests.
ISO 23529 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.
ISO 23529 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.
