Specimens consist of “as manufactured” plastic lumber and shapes, with nails, staples, or screws driven at right angles to one or more faces. The fasteners are withdrawn at a uniform rate of speed by means of a testing machine, and the maximum load is recorded. Supplementary physical properties of the plastic lumber and shapes are also determined

1.1These test methods cover the evaluation of fastener use with “as manufactured” plastic lumber and shapes through the use of two different testing procedures.

1.2The test methods appear in the following order:

		Sections
	Test Method A—Nail, Staple, or Screw Withdrawal Test	4 to 13
	Test Method B—Lateral Nail, Staple, or Screw Resistance Test	14 to 22

1.3Plastic lumber and plastic shapes are currently made predominately from recycled plastics. However, these test methods would also be applicable to similar manufactured plastic products made from virgin resins where the product is non-homogeneous in the cross-section.

1.4The values stated in inch-pound units are to be regarded as standard. The SI units given in parentheses are for information only.

1.5This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety, health, and environmental practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.

Note 1:There is no known ISO equivalent to this standard.

1.6This international standard was developed in accordance with internationally recognized principles on standardization established in the Decision on Principles for the Development of International Standards, Guides and Recommendations issued by the World Trade Organization Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT) Committee.
