ISO DIS 7206-10

Description / Abstract: This part of ISO 7206 applies to femoral heads of partial or total hip-joint replacements of modular construction (i.e. a head/neck conical taper connection) and describes methods of determining the compressive (fracture) or the tension (disassembly) loads required, under specific laboratory conditions, to cause failure of a modular head system. It applies to components made of metallic and non-metallic materials.

This part of ISO 7206 does not cover methods of examining and reporting the test specimens.
