This European Standard was approved by CEN on 28 November 2002.
CEN members are bound to comply with the CEN/CENELEC Internal Regulations which stipulate the conditions for giving this European
Standard the status of a national standard without any alteration. Up-to-date lists and bibliographical references concerning such national
standards may be obtained on application to the Management Centre or to any CEN member.
This European Standard exists in three official versions (English, French, German). A version in any other language made by translation
under the responsibility of a CEN member into its own language and notified to the Management Centre has the same status as the official
versions.

Foreword
This document (EN 658-4:2003) has been prepared by Technical Committee CEN/TC 184 "Advanced technical
ceramics", the secretariat of which is held by BSI.
This European Standard shall be given the status of a national standard, either by publication of an identical text or
by endorsement, at the latest by August 2003, and conflicting national standards shall be withdrawn at the latest by
August 2003.
This document supersedes ENV 658-4:1992.
Annex A is informative.
EN 658 'Advanced technical ceramics – Mechanical properties of ceramic composites at room temperature' has six
parts:
 Part 1 : Determination of tensile properties
 Part 2 : Determination of compressive properties
 Part 3 : Determination of flexural strength
 Part 4 : Determination of interlaminar shear strength by compression loading of notched test specimens
 Part 5 : Determination of interlaminar shear strength by short span bend test (three-points)
 Part 6 : Determination of interlaminar shear strength by double-punch shearing
According to the CEN/CENELEC Internal Regulations, the national standards organizations of the following
countries are bound to implement this European Standard: Austria, Belgium, Czech Republic, Denmark, Finland,
France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Norway, Portugal,
Slovakia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland and the United Kingdom.
