• types of test piece to be used for sheet and strip with thickness less than or equal to 8 mm
• types of non-machined test piece to be used in the case of bar, section and wire with a diameter or thickness less than or equal to 8 mm
• types of machined test piece to be used in the case of bar, section, plate and wire with diameter or thickness greater than 8 mm and for forgings and castings
• types of test piece to be used in the case of tubes. 

It shall be applied when referred to in the EN technical specification or material standard unless otherwise specified on the drawing, order or inspection schedule.
