Overview
ISO 9656:2004 is an international standard published by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) that specifies the test methods for pliers and nippers used in electronics. The standard ensures that these precision tools, essential for electronic assembly and repair, function correctly according to their intended uses. By defining rigorous testing protocols-such as wire cutting, torsion, load, and hardness tests-ISO 9656:2004 helps manufacturers maintain consistent quality and reliability in electronic tooling.
Key Topics
Test Methods for Electronic Pliers and Nippers
ISO 9656:2004 outlines a series of tests to verify performance and durability, based on the tools’ functional use. These include:- Wire Cutting Test: Tools must efficiently cut enamelled round copper wire per IEC 60317-0-1 specifications without damaging cutting edges.
- Torsion Test: Applies to round nose pliers, checking jaw flexibility and alignment under applied torque to prevent misalignments affecting performance.
- Load Test: Conducted on flat nose and snipe nose pliers by applying predefined force on test pieces to assess grip strength and structural integrity.
- Hardness Test: Measures jaw hardness at precise locations to ensure durability and cutting edge strength without compromising tool function.
Functional Use-Based Parameters
The standard defines test parameters tailored to the various types of pliers and nippers-including diagonal, oblique, flat nose, snipe nose, and round nose variants-reflecting their distinct applications in electronics.Compliance and Quality Assurance
By adhering to ISO 9656:2004, manufacturers and quality control teams can verify that tools meet essential mechanical and operational thresholds, minimizing tool failure and ensuring user safety.
Applications
ISO 9656:2004 is critical for sectors relying on precision hand tools in electronics, such as:
- Electronic Assembly and Repair: Ensuring pliers and nippers can reliably cut wires, grip components, and withstand mechanical stress during delicate electronic manufacturing and maintenance.
- Tool Manufacturing and Certification: Establishing quality benchmarks for manufacturers of electronics hand tools to enhance product performance and competitive differentiation.
- Quality Control and Testing Labs: Providing standardized procedures for testing and certifying pliers and nippers, assuring tool compliance with international performance standards.
- Procurement for Electronics Production: Assisting purchasers in verifying that tools meet required quality standards, reducing downtime and defects in electronics production lines.
Related Standards
ISO 9656:2004 works in conjunction with several related international standards to provide comprehensive requirements for electronic tools:
- ISO 9654: Specifies technical details for single-purpose cutting nippers for electronics, complementing the test methods in ISO 9656.
- ISO 8979: Covers the nomenclature of pliers and nippers for electronics, facilitating standardized identification and communication across the industry.
- ISO 9657: Defines the general technical requirements for pliers and nippers used in electronic applications, establishing foundational criteria beyond testing.
- IEC 60317-0-1: Specifies the properties of enamelled round copper wire, the material used in the wire cutting test described in ISO 9656.
- ISO 6508-1: Details the Rockwell hardness test method used to assess the hardness of pliers’ jaws, ensuring durability and cutting precision.
By implementing ISO 9656:2004, industries focused on electronics can significantly improve tool reliability, enhance product quality, and ensure safer, more efficient assembly and repair processes. This standard sets vital benchmarks for testing precision pliers and nippers, enabling consistent performance and extending tool lifespan in the demanding environments of electronics manufacturing.

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 9656 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 29, Small tools, Subcommittee SC 10, Assembly
tools for screws and nuts, pliers and nippers.
This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition (ISO 9656:1989) which has been technically revised.

Avant-propos
L'ISO (Organisation internationale de normalisation) est une fédération mondiale d'organismes nationaux de
normalisation (comités membres de l'ISO). L'élaboration des Normes internationales est en général confiée
aux comités techniques de l'ISO. Chaque comité membre intéressé par une étude a le droit de faire partie du
comité technique créé à cet effet. Les organisations internationales, gouvernementales et non
gouvernementales, en liaison avec l'ISO participent également aux travaux. L'ISO collabore étroitement avec
la Commission électrotechnique internationale (CEI) en ce qui concerne la normalisation électrotechnique.
Les Normes internationales sont rédigées conformément aux règles données dans les Directives ISO/CEI,
Partie 2.
La tâche principale des comités techniques est d'élaborer les Normes internationales. Les projets de Normes
internationales adoptés par les comités techniques sont soumis aux comités membres pour vote. Leur
publication comme Normes internationales requiert l'approbation de 75 % au moins des comités membres
votants.

L'ISO 9656 a été élaborée par le comité technique ISO/TC 29, Petit outillage, sous-comité SC 10, Outils de
manœuvre pour vis et écrous, pinces et tenailles.
