Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards
bodies (ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out
through ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical
committee has been established has the right to be represented on that committee. International
organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work.
ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of
electrotechnical standardization.
The procedures used to develop this document and those intended for its further maintenance are
described in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 1. In particular the different approval criteria needed for the
different types of ISO documents should be noted. This document was drafted in accordance with the
editorial rules of the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2 (see www.iso.org/directives).
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of
patent rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights. Details of
any patent rights identified during the development of the document will be in the Introduction and/or
on the ISO list of patent declarations received (see www.iso.org/patents).
Any trade name used in this document is information given for the convenience of users and does not
constitute an endorsement.

5 Conditioning of test specimens
Unless otherwise specified, all test specimens to be tested shall be conditioned prior to testing under
the following conditions and for the following periods of time:
— ambient temperature: 23 °C ± 2 °C for at least 48 h;
© ISO 2016 – All rights reserved 1

---------------------- Page: 6 ----------------------
ISO 15082:2016(E)

— ambient relative humidity: (50 ± 5) % for at least 48 h;
— low temperature: –18 °C ± 2 °C for at least 24 h.
6 Application of tests
For certain types of safety glazing material, it is not necessary to carry out all the tests specified in this
document.
7 Optical properties test
Test plastic safety glazing materials in accordance with ISO 3538.
8 Head-form/fragmentation test
8.1 Principle
Determine the fragmentation characteristics of plastic safety glazing materials at ambient temperature.
8.2 Apparatus
8.2.1 Head-form weight, shall be a spherical or semi-spherical head made of laminated hardwood
covered with replaceable felt and with or without a cross-beam made of wood.
Between the spherical part and the cross-beam, there is a neck shaped intermediate piece and on the
other side of the cross-beam, a mounting rod.
The dimensions shall be in accordance with Figure 1.
The total mass of the apparatus shall be 10 kg ± 0,2 kg.

8.2.2 Drop.
The means for dropping the head-form weight freely from a height is to be specified, or the means for
giving the weight a velocity equivalent to that obtained by the free fall.
When a device to project the head-form weight is used, the tolerance on velocity shall be ±1 % of the
velocity equivalent to that obtained by the free fall.
8.2.3 Supporting fixture for testing flat test specimens, as show in Figure 2.
The fixture is composed of two steel frames, with 50 mm wide machined edges, fitting one over the
other and faced with rubber gaskets about 3 mm ± 0,5 mm thick, and 15 mm ± 1 mm wide, of hardness
70 IRHD, measured in accordance with ISO 48. The upper frame is pressed against the lower frame by
at least eight bolts; the minimum recommended torque for M20 bolts is 30 Nm. Alternatively, other
pressing techniques may be used, e.g. hydraulic or pneumatic pressing (see 8.4).
8.3 Test specimens
+5 +5
Test specimens shall be flat rectangles with length 1 100 mm mm and width 500 mm mm.

8.4 Procedure
Place a conditioned test specimen in the supporting fixture (Figure 2); the torque on the bolts, or the
amount of hydraulic or pneumatic pressure, shall ensure that the movement of the test specimen during
the test will not exceed 2 mm. The plane of the test specimen shall be substantially perpendicular to the
incident direction of the head-form weight.
The head-form weight shall strike the test specimen, from a height to be specified, within 40 mm of its
centre on that face which represents the inside face of the plastic safety glazing material when mounted
on the vehicle, and shall be allowed to make only one impact.
The felt cover shall be replaced after 12 tests or when damaged.
8.5 Expression of results
Evaluate the fracture characteristics of the plastic safety glazing material by recording whether the
test specimen did not break and the head-form was supported, or the test specimen broke and the head-
form was supported, or the test specimen broke and the head-form was not supported. Record the drop
height for each impact test.
In the event of fracture, evaluate the plastic safety glazing material by recording the smallest angle
between two adjacent sides of resulting fragments and the area, longest dimension, and weight of the
largest fragment. Record this data for the fragments remaining in the supporting fixture and for those
that are dislodged from the supporting fixture.

9 Head-form test with deceleration measurement
9.1 Principle
Assessment of the minimum strength and fragmentation characteristics of plastic safety glazing
materials under impact from a blunt, bulky object at ambient temperature. The danger of skull-brain-
injuries is assessed by simultaneous determination of the HIC (head injury criterion)-values.
Tests can be performed on flat specimens or on complete panes.
9.2 Test conditions
Unless otherwise specified, the test shall be carried out under the following conditions:
— ambient temperature: 20 °C ± 5 °C;
— atmospheric pressure: 86 kPa to 106 kPa (860 mbar to 1 060 mbar);
— relative humidity: (60 ± 20) %.
9.3 Conditioning of test pieces
Unless otherwise specified, the test pieces to be tested shall be conditioned prior to testing under the
following conditions and for the following periods of time:
— ambient temperature: 23 °C ± 2 °C for at least 48 h;
— ambient relative humidity: (50 ± 5) % for at least 48 h.
9.4 Apparatus
To perform the head-form test with deceleration measurement, a test apparatus according to Figure 3
can be used. The head-form (see 9.4.1 and Figure 4) is fixed to the cross arm of the guide system and
moved to the required drop height by means of a lifting device. To start the drop test the cross arm with
the head-form is released. After passing the height-adjustable light barrier the head-form is released
from the cross arm, the cross arm’s fall is dampened and the head-form drops onto the test piece.
Instead of the data transmission via cables, wireless data transmission (e.g. radio transmission) may be
used. In this case,the guide system can be omitted because of no risk of obstruction of the free vertical
drop by any cables.
