Foreword
IS0 (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide
federation of national standards bodies (IS0 member bodies). The work
of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through IS0
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, govern-
mental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the
work. IS0 collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical
Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization.
Draft International Standards adopted by the technical committees are
circulated to the member bodies for voting. Publication as an Inter-
national Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the member
bodies casting a vote.
International Standard IS0 6252 was prepared by Technical Committee
ISO/TC 61, Plastics, Sub-Committee SC 6, Ageing, chemical and en-
vironmental resistance.
This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition
(IS0 6252:1981), which has been revised to include a third method
(method C).
Annex A of this International Standard is for information only.

Introduction
Environmental stress cracking is exhibited by many materials, including
plastics. 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 combi-
nation of both. Exposure to a chemical environment simultaneously with
the same stress or strain may result in a dramatic shortening of the time
to failure. This phenomenon is referred to as environmental stress
cracking (ESC). The permissible long-term stress or strain may be re-
duced considerably by this phenomenon.
The cracks produced 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);
-
stress and strain;
- temperature of test;
- duration of test;
-
chemical environment:
- test method;
- failure criterion.
By keeping all but one parameter constant, the influence of the variable
parameter on ESC can be assessed. The main objective of ESC
measurements is to determine the effect of chemical media (environ-
ment) 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 ob-
tained in actual service. It may not be possible, 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.
