1 Scope
This standard specifies the specimens, equipments, conditions, procedures and results calculation for measuring the impact properties with charpy impact method.
This standard is applicable to measure the impact properties of fibre-reinforced plastics composites specimens with nicks; while the impact properties measurement of specimens without nicks may refer to this standard.
2 Normative References

3 Test Principles
Both ends of specimen with V-nick are horizontally placed on a support; the nick is back on impact pendulum; then pendulum strike the middle specimen once to make specimen generate stress concentration during impact and then enable the specimen to break rapidly.
4 Specimen
4.1 Type and dimension of specimen
4.1.1 Type and dimension of fabric specimen whose nick direction is vertical to layer are shown in Figure 1.
