The work of preparing international Standards is normally carried out through Iso technical committees. Each member 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. isO 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 approval before their acceptance as International Standards by the Iso Council. They are approved in accordance with ISsO procedures requiring at least 75 % approval by the member bodies voting. International Standard ISO7892 was prepared byTechnical Committee 1SO/TC 59, Buildingconstruction. 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. @ International Organization for Standardization, 1988 Printed in Switzerland ed without license from IHS Not for Resale ISO 7892 : 1988 (E) INTERNATIONAL STANDARD Vertical building elements -- Impact resistance tests - Impact bodies and general test procedures 1 Scope and field of application 0 Introduction This International Standard defines 0.1This International Standard is one of a series of standards relating to the performance of building elements. the conventional impact bodies used in order to reproduce the effect of actual impacts on vertical building This series comprises firstly elements, performance standards which indicate the type of per- the general test procedures, the test procedures formance characterizing each family of elements specific to each type of building element tested being given facades, partitions, roofs, cross-walls, tridimensionat units in the standards specific to these building elements. making up a building with their scales of values, if re- It applies to all vertical (or nearly vertical) building elements quired, and which also refer to suitable methods for deter- excluding doorsets for which a method is specified in Iso mining performance, 8270.1) and, secondly, International Standards applicable to The impacts used for verifying a property of the material, often each family of elements, describing the means (measure- specific to the character of this material, are defined in the stan ment, calculation, test method or method of examination) dards dealing with these materials. by which a certain performance achieved by the element is to be evaluated or verified, and/or the means of forecasting The impacts used in order to create shock effects in particular the life expectancy. types of walls are not dealt with in this International Standard.
