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 6568 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 164,
Mechanical tes ting of me tals.
lt cancels and replaces ISO Recommendation R 80-1968 and International Standard
ISO 2713-1973, of which it constitutes a technical revision.
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.

I'ISO. Chaque
des Normes internationales est confiée aux comités techniques de
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 gouverne-
e
mentales, en liaison avec I'ISO participent également aux travaux.
Les projets de Normes internationales adoptés par les comités techniques sont soumis
aux comités membres pour approbation, avant leur acceptation comme Normes inter-
nationales par le Conseil de I'ISO. Les Normes internationales sont approuvées confor-
mément aux procédures de I'ISO qui requièrent l'approbation de 75 % au moins des
comités membres votants.
La Norme internationale IS0 6508 a été élaborée par le comité technique ISO/TC 164,
Essais mécaniques des métaux.
Elle annule et remplace la Recommandation ISO/R 80-1968 et la Norme internationale
IS0 2713-1980, dont elle constitue une révision technique.
L'attention des utilisateurs est attirée sur le fait que toutes les Normes internationales
sont de temps en temps soumises à révision et que toute référence faite à une autre
