Plastics and ebonite - Determination of indentation hardness by means of a durometer (Shore hardness) (ISO 868:2003); German version EN ISO 868:2003
This standard specifies a method for the determination of the indentation hardness of plastics and ebonite by means of durometers of two types: type A is used for softer materials and type D for harder materials. The method permits measurement either of the initial indentation or of the indentation after a specified period of time, or both.
