ISO 22088-1:2006(E)
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.
ISO 22088-1 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 61, Plastics, Subcommittee SC 6, Ageing,
chemical and environmental resistance.
ISO 22088 consists of the following parts, under the general title Plastics — Determination of resistance to
environmental stress cracking (ESC):
⎯ Part 1: General guidance
⎯ Part 2: Constant tensile load method (replacement of ISO 6252:1992)
⎯ Part 3: Bent strip method (replacement of ISO 4599:1986)
⎯ Part 4: Ball or pin impression method (replacement of ISO 4600:1992)

ISO 22088-1:2006(E)
Introduction
When a plastic material is stressed or strained in air below its yield point, stress cracking can occur after a
period of time, which may be very long. These stresses may be internal or external, or a combination of both.
Simultaneous exposure to a chemical environment and stress or strain may result in a dramatic shortening of
the time to failure compared to that in an inert environment. The phenomenon is referred to as environmental
stress cracking (ESC) and is exhibited by many materials, including plastics. The permissible long-term stress
or strain may be reduced considerably by this phenomenon.
It is generally believed that ESC occurs via the following processes:
1) Formation of microvoids in specimens by microscopic stress concentrations after applying stress.
2) Formation and subsequent growth of macrovoids caused by the breakdown of intermolecular bonds
in intervoids that is produced by the action of a chemical environment, and formation of crazes which
are composed of interconnected voids and fibrils.
3) Growth of the crazes caused by the break-down of the fibrils due to the applied stress and contact
with a chemical environment.
4) Finally, a crack starts at the tip of the craze, leading to brittle failure.
The cracks may penetrate completely through the thickness of the material, separating it into two or more
pieces, or they may be arrested on reaching regions of lower stress or different material morphology.
The determination of ESC is complex because it is influenced by many parameters, including:
⎯ test specimen dimensions;
⎯ test specimen state (orientation, structure, internal stresses);
⎯ specimen preparation;
⎯ thermal history of specimen;
⎯ stress and strain;
⎯ temperature of test;
⎯ duration of test;
⎯ chemical environment;
⎯ method of application of stress and strain;
⎯ failure criterion.
By keeping all but one parameter constant, the relative influence of the variable parameter on ESC can be
assessed. The main objective of ESC measurements is to determine the relative effect of chemical media
exposure on plastics (test specimens and articles).
The measurements may also be used to evaluate the influence of the moulding conditions upon the quality of
an article when the failure mode corresponds to that obtained in actual service.
It is almost impossible, however, to establish any direct correlation between the results of short-duration ESC
measurements on test specimens and the actual service behaviour of articles, because the behaviour of the
latter is likely to be more complex than that of test specimens.
INTERNATIONAL STANDARD ISO 22088-1:2006(E)

Plastics — Determination of resistance to environmental stress
cracking (ESC) —
Part 1:
General guidance
1 Scope
1.1 This part of ISO 22088 provides information and general guidance relevant to the selection of the test
method to be used to determine environmental stress cracking (ESC).
1.2 Part 2 describes a method in which a test specimen is subjected to a constant tensile load, while
immersed in a stress cracking agent at a specified temperature. The time and/or stress at which the specimen
breaks is recorded.
1.3 Part 3 describes a method in which strips of plastic are subjected to a fixed flexural strain and exposed
to a stress cracking agent for a predetermined period.
1.4 Part 4 describes a method in which a hole of specified diameter is drilled in a specimen and an
oversized steel ball or pin is inserted into the hole while the test specimen is brought into contact with a stress
cracking agent.
1.5 Part 5 describes a method in which a constant tensile deformation is applied to a specimen which is
immersed in a stress cracking agent at a temperature selected for testing.
1.6 Part 6 describes a method in which a slowly increasing strain is applied to a specimen immersed in a
stress cracking agent.
1.7 These methods are applicable to thermoplastic materials only.
1.8 These are essentially ranking tests and are not intended to provide data to be used for design or
performance prediction.
