This International Standard specifies a method for determining the ability of metallic materials to undergo
plastic deformation in bending.
This International Standard applies to test pieces taken from metallic products, as specified in the relevant
product standard. It is not applicable to certain materials or products, for example tubes in full section or
welded joints, for which other standards exist.
