Overview
ISO 8976:2021 is an international standard published by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) that specifies the principal dimensions and test values for multiple slip joint pliers. This standard provides precise measurement guidelines and performance criteria to ensure these tools meet quality and functional requirements for professional and industrial use. It supports conformity with related standards such as ISO 5744 for testing methods and ISO 5743 for general technical requirements.
By defining clear specifications on dimensions and load tests, ISO 8976:2021 ensures the consistency, reliability, and safety of multiple slip joint pliers across different manufacturers, while allowing flexibility in design. This third edition introduces updated minimum and maximum lengths for nominal plier sizes, reflecting industry advancements and user needs.
Key Topics
- Principal Dimensions: Detailed size specifications for multiple slip joint pliers, including lengths, jaw opening ranges, and thicknesses measured precisely to ensure interchangeability and ergonomic design.
- Test Values: Defined load test criteria to verify the mechanical strength and functional aptitude of the pliers, including permissible permanent set after load application.
- Designations: Guidelines for the correct labeling and identification of multiple slip joint pliers using relevant nomenclature aligned with ISO 5742.
- Marking Requirements: Procedures for marking pliers in accordance with ISO 5743, ensuring traceability and compliance.
- Joint Types: Clarification on joint variants covered under the standard, linking to ISO 5742 for terminology and classification.
- Load Capacity and Durability: Rated load values ranging from 400 N to 1,400 N are set as part of the performance evaluation.
Applications
ISO 8976:2021 is essential for manufacturers, quality control engineers, tool designers, and procurement specialists dealing with multiple slip joint pliers. Practical applications include:
- Manufacturing and Quality Assurance: Ensuring tools are produced within specified dimensional tolerances and pass stringent load tests to maintain durability and safe handling.
- Tool Selection and Specification: Helping industrial buyers and end-users select multiple slip joint pliers that meet recognized performance criteria for assembly, maintenance, and repair tasks.
- Compliance and Certification: Facilitating certification processes by providing internationally recognized benchmarks, enhancing market access and user confidence.
- Product Design: Offering design parameters that do not restrict innovation but promote safety and functional compatibility across different tool models.
- Standardization in Tool Industry: Supporting harmonization across global tool manufacturers, boosting productivity and quality consistency.

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.
