Plastics — Film and sheeting — Determination of tear resistance — Part 1: Trouser tear method
ISO 6383-1:2015 specifies a method of determining the tear resistance of plastic film or sheet less than 1 mm thick, in the form of standard trouser-shaped test specimens, tested under defined conditions of pre-treatment, temperature, humidity, and speed of testing.
The method is applicable to film and sheeting of both flexible and rigid materials, provided that the material is not so rigid that brittle fracture occurs during the test, or so deformable, in an irreversible way, that the energy used in the deformation of the specimen legs is significant (i.e. is not negligible) with respect to the energy used in tearing.
The method may not be suitable for determining the tear properties of cellular sheet and film.

Frequently Asked Questions about ISO 6383-1:2015
When you purchase a standard from the Austrian Standards webshop (e.g. ÖNORM, ISO), a single-user licence is included as standard. This entitles a single person to use the standard. A multi-user licence is required if several employees need access. It enables company-wide, legally compliant use and sharing of standards.
Standardization thrives on expertise and participation. Anyone interested can play an active role in its further development – for example, by joining the relevant committee or a working group. In this way, you can help shape the content and contribute to advancing the state of the art.
If you have an extensive portfolio of standards, we recommend using a professional standards management tool. With effects 2.0, you can manage your standards centrally and efficiently. You can optimise your procurement processes and benefit from an integrated information and subscription service. This ensures you are always up to date and never miss any relevant developments.
