Overview
EN ISO 21509:2015 (equivalent to ISO 21509:2006) specifies procedures for the verification of Shore durometers used to measure indentation hardness of plastics and ebonite (as tested by ISO 868). The standard covers verification methods for type A and type D Shore durometers, environmental conditions for verification, required instruments, pass/fail criteria and the contents of the verification report.
Key topics and technical requirements
- Scope and environment
- Verification is for Shore A and D durometers used in hardness testing of plastics and ebonite.
- Ambient verification temperature: 21 °C to 25 °C, or 25 °C to 29 °C for tropical conditions per ISO 291.
- Instruments and uncertainty
- Requires dimensional measuring tools and dynamometric (force-measuring) instruments.
- Recommended measurement uncertainty: ~1/5 of the tolerance on the value being verified.
- Elements to be verified
- Indenter geometry and maximum protrusion (e.g., full protrusion specified as 2.5 mm ± 0.04 mm in the standard figures).
- Presser foot geometry (hole diameter 2.5–3.5 mm and centring).
- Indicating device scale: verify points 0 and 100 and, if present, the maximum‑reading indicator.
- Measurement spring force: verified using either a dynamometric device or a purpose-built verification device.
- Force/stiffness checks
- Stiffness relations (as given in the standard): F (mN) = 550 + 75·HA (Shore A) and F = 445·HD (Shore D).
- Dynamometric readings Fi must match calculated F within specified tolerances (as stated in the standard).
- Verification-device check tolerances: ±10 mN for Shore A and ±50 mN for Shore D.
- Frequency
- Verification required: after production, after repair, after damage (especially indenter), and annually.
- Reporting
- Verification report must identify the verifier, client, durometer details (manufacturer, model, serial), date, equipment traceability, measured data and statement of compliance.
Applications and who uses this standard
- Calibration and metrology laboratories performing durometer verification and issuing calibration certificates.
- Plastics and rubber manufacturers ensuring incoming/outgoing inspection and process control rely on correct Shore hardness readings.
- Quality control and R&D teams that validate hardness-testing instruments for product development and compliance.
- Third‑party testing bodies and accreditation organizations needing consistent verification procedures for Shore A/D instruments.
Related standards

ISO 21509:2006(E) iv © ISO 2006 – All rights reserved 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. International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC 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. 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.
