ISO 2439:2008(E) iv © ISO 2008 – All rights reserved 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 2439 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 45, Rubber and rubber products, Subcommittee SC 4, Products (other than hoses). This fourth edition cancels and replaces the third edition (ISO 2439:1997 and ISO 2439:1997/Cor.1:1998), which has been technically revised. Major modifications in this revised text are: a) change in Scope to cover five methods; b) inclusion of Figure 1 to illustrate the force-indentation curve; and c) inclusion of informative annexes.

INTERNATIONAL STANDARD ISO 2439:2008(E) © ISO 2008 – All rights reserved 1Flexible cellular polymeric materials — Determination of hardness (indentation technique) WARNING — Persons using this International Standard should be familiar with normal laboratory practice. This International Standard does not purport to address all of the safety problems, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user to establish appropriate safety and health practices and to ensure compliance with any national regulatory conditions. 1 Scope The indentation hardness of flexible cellular materials is a measure of their load-bearing properties. This International Standard specifies four methods (A to D) for the determination of indentation hardness and one method (E) for determination of compressive deflection coefficient and hysteresis loss rate of flexible cellular materials. Annex A provides a summary of test parameters and typical force-indentation graphs obtained with these methods. These five methods are applicable only to latex foam, urethane foam and PVC foam of the open-cell type. The methods specified can be used for testing finished articles and for the characterization of bulk material. This International Standard specifies the following methods: a) Method A — Determination of the 40 %/30 s indentation hardness index, which gives a single indentation measurement for laboratory test purposes; b) Method B — Determination of the 25 %-40 %-65 %/30 s indentation hardness characteristics, which provides information about the shape of the hardness indentation curve; c) Method C — Determination of the 40 % indentation hardness check, which is a quick procedure suitable for quality control testing; d) Method D — Determination of the 25 %/20 s low indentation hardness index, which is a quick procedure suitable as an inspection test; e) Method E — Determination of the compressive deflection coefficient and hysteresis loss rate, which gives additional information about the load-bearing properties of materials. The results obtained by these methods relate only to the test conditions specified and cannot, in general, be used directly for design purposes. 2 Normative references The following referenced documents are indispensable for the application of this document.

The test machine shall be capable of indenting the test piece between a supporting surface (5.2) and an indentor (5.3) having a uniform relative motion, in the vertical direction, of (100 ± 20) mm/min. The test machine shall have means of measuring force in conformance with Class 1 of ISO 7500-1 or of measuring with a precision of ± 1 N, and of measuring the test piece thickness under
