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.
The procedures used to develop this document and those intended for its further maintenance are
described in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 1. In particular the different approval criteria needed for the
different types of ISO documents should be noted. This document was drafted in accordance with the
editorial rules of the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2 (see www.iso.org/directives).
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. Details of
any patent rights identified during the development of the document will be in the Introduction and/or
on the ISO list of patent declarations received (see www.iso.org/patents).
Any trade name used in this document is information given for the convenience of users and does not
constitute an endorsement.
For an explanation on the voluntary nature of standards, the meaning of ISO specific terms and
expressions related to conformity assessment, as well as information about ISO's adherence to the
World Trade Organization (WTO) principles in the Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT) see the following
URL: www.iso.org/iso/foreword.html.
This document was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 164, Mechanical testing of metals,
Subcommittee SC 3, Hardness testing.
This second edition cancels and replaces the third edition (ISO 4545-3:2005), which has been technically
revised.
Significant technical changes from the previous edition of this document include:
— the requirements for the maximum test surface area of the reference block have been added;
— the requirements for the maximum uncertainty of the line intervals on the stage micrometer have
been revised;
— the requirements for the calibration and verification of the measuring system have been revised, as
per ISO 4545-2;
— the requirements for the uniformity of the reference block hardness have been revised to account
for different numbers of calibration indentations;
— the timing requirements for the approach velocity and the time duration at maximum test force
have been revised to indicate a target time value;
— Annex B has been revised
A list of all parts in the ISO 4545 series can be found on the ISO website.

Part 3:
Calibration of reference blocks
1 Scope
This document specifies the method for the calibration of reference blocks to be used for the indirect
verification of Knoop hardness testing machines as specified in ISO 4545-2.
The method is applicable only for indentations with long diagonals ≥0,020 mm.
2 Normative references
The following documents are referred to in the text in such a way that some or all of their content
constitutes requirements of this document. For dated references, only the edition cited applies. For
undated references, the latest edition of the referenced document (including any amendments) applies.

4 Manufacture of the reference block
4.1 General
The block shall be specially manufactured for use as a hardness-reference block using a manufacturing
process that will give the necessary homogeneity, stability of structure and uniformity of surface
hardness.
4.2 Thickness
Each metal block to be calibrated shall be of a thickness not less than 5 mm.
4.3 Test surface area
2
The test surface area of the reference block shall not exceed 40 cm .

4.4 Magnetism
The reference blocks shall be free of magnetism. It is recommended that the manufacturer ensure that
the blocks, if made of steel, have been demagnetized at the end of the manufacturing process (before
calibration).
4.5 Flatness and parallelism
The maximum deviation in flatness of the test and support surfaces shall not exceed 0,005 mm. The
maximum error in parallelism shall not exceed 0,010 mm in 50 mm.
4.6 Surface roughness
The test surface shall be free from scratches that interfere with the measurement of the indentations.
[1]
The test surface roughness, Ra, shall not exceed 0,05 µm . The bottom support surface shall be a finely
ground finish or better.
4.7 Prevention of the regrind of the test surface
To verify that no material is subsequently removed from the reference block, the thickness at the time
of calibration shall be marked on the reference block to the nearest 0,01 mm, or an identifying mark
shall be made on the test surface [see 8.2 e)].
5 Calibration machine
5.1 General
In addition to fulfilling the general requirements specified in ISO 4545-2, the calibration machine shall
also meet the requirements given in 5.2 to 5.6.
NOTE The criteria specified in this document for the performance of the calibration machine have been
developed and refined over a significant period of time. When determining a specific tolerance that the machine
needs to meet, the uncertainty associated with the use of measuring equipment and/or reference standards has
been incorporated within this tolerance, and it would therefore be inappropriate to make any further allowance
for this uncertainty by, for example, reducing the tolerance by the measurement uncertainty. This applies to all
measurements made when performing a direct verification of the calibration machine.
5.2 Direct verification
The calibration machine shall be directly verified in intervals not exceeding 12 months.
Direct verification involves
