ISO 6508-1:2023 — Rockwell Hardness Test Method
Procurement reference for Rockwell regular and superficial hardness testing of metallic materials.
Edition control: Published. Confirm the current authorised edition and the governing product or order specification before use. This original MNK-G.S.A summary does not reproduce or replace the protected ISO publication.
Scope in Procurement
ISO 6508-1:2023 specifies Rockwell regular and superficial hardness test methods for the scales included in its official scope.
The selected scale and test condition must suit the material, product thickness, expected hardness and governing product specification.
The test report should identify the scale, specimen or product location, result, equipment control and traceability required by the order.
Scope Boundary
Specific material or product standards may direct another method. A Rockwell value alone does not establish composition, microstructure or grade equivalence.
Ordering and Test-Report Controls
- Exact ISO edition and governing material or product standard
- Material grade, product form, delivery condition and batch identity
- Specimen location, orientation, preparation and number of tests
- Selected test condition, temperature or hardness scale as applicable
- Equipment verification, laboratory requirements and measurement traceability
- Result format, acceptance criteria, retest route and inspection document
