ISO/PRF 8203-4

This document specifies the principal method for out-of-plane laser shearography non-destructive inspection (NDI) of fibre-reinforced polymer (FRP) composites. This document is applicable to both monolithic and sandwich FRP laminate constructions, with or without curved surfaces, fibre-reinforced thermoset and thermoplastic matrix composites incorporating uni- or multi-directional reinforcements in either a continuous or discontinuous format; including but not limited to woven fabrics, stitched fabrics, short fibre, or particulate filled, honeycomb or foam cores, as well as combination or hybrid reinforcements. This document is not applicable to variations on this basic configuration.
