This European Standard specifies a method of verification of testing machines for determining
Rockwell hardness (scales A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H, K, N, T) in accordance with EN 10109-1.
It describes a direct verification method for checking the main functions of the machine and an
indirect verification method suitable for the overall checking of the machine. The indirect verification
method may be used on its own for periodic routine checking of the machine in service.
If a testing machine is also to be used for other methods of hardness testing, it shall be verified
independently for each method.
The normative annex A gives some information concerning diamond indenters. Annex B gives the
diagrams for the repeatability for the testing machines.
