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. Esch 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, govern-
mental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work.
Draft International Standards adopted by the technical committees are circulated to
the member bodies for approval before their acceptance as International Standards by
the ISO Council. They are approved in accordance with ISO procedures requiring at
least 75 % approval by the member bodies voting.
International Standard ISO 4599 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 61,
Plastics.
Users should note that all International Standards undergo revision from time to time
and that any reference made herein to any other International Standard implies its
latest edition, unless otherwise stated.

Stress cracking is exhibited by many materials, including This International Standard specifies a method for the deter-

Preferably, this method is used to determine the ESC resistance
of rigid plastics with only moderate stress relaxation in time.
The determination of ESC resistance is a complex procedure
because it is influenced by many Parameters, including:
