scope:

This Standard specifies test methods for the determination of the tear strength of small test pieces (Delft test pieces) of vulcanized or thermoplastic rubber.

NOTE 2 The International Standard corresponding to this Standard and the symbol of degree of correspondence are as follows.

ISO 34-2: 2011 Rubber, vulcanized or thermoplastic-Determination of tear strength-Part 2: Small (Delft) test pieces (MOD)

In addition, symbols which denote the degree of correspondence in the contents between the relevant International Standard and JIS are IDT (identical), MOD (modified), and NEQ (not equivalent) according to ISO/ IEC Guide 21-1.

WARNING Persons using this Standard should be familiar with normallaboratory practice. This Standard does not purport to address all of the safety problems, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this Standard to establish appropriate safety and health practices.
