The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through IsO technicalcommittees.Eachmemberbodyinterestedinasubjectforwhichatechnical committeehasbeen International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization. International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/lEC Directives, Part 2 The main task of technical committees is to prepare International Standards. Draft International Standards adopted by the technical committees are circulated to the member bodies for voting. Publication as an International Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the member bodies casting a vote. rights.

Apparatus 4.1 Tensile testing machine, with suitable load cell and a recording device. The machine shall be capable of maintaining the testing speed required (see 7.2). 5Sampling and selection of specimens sample,the distancebetweentheouteredgeofthesampleandthenearestedgeofthetestpiecebeingat cut in the transverse direction (see Figure 1). raanizationforStandar izalion'ghts reserved ISO 24345:2006(E) Dimensions in millimetres ≥100 ≥100 L2 L2 ≥100 ≥100 4 Figure 1 Sampling and selection of specimens 6 Atmosphere for conditioning and testing Condition the test piece(s) at a temperature of (23 ± 2) °C and relative humidity of (50 ± 5) % for a minimum of 24 h.
