Frattura ed Integrità Strutturale, 9 (2009) Notiziario IGF 165 ESIS Procedures and Documents (www.esisweb.org) Two kinds of documents are produced by ESIS Technical Committees with the following designatory system: ESIS P2-92 or ESIS P4-92D, where: 1) P means "Procedure", and 2 and 4 are the current numbers, while 92 is the year of issue. 2) D following the year (eg: 92D) means "draft", ie: not yet approved, while 3) D prior to the year (eg: D1-92) means "Document" other than test methods. P1-92 ESIS RECOMMENDATIONS FOR DETERMINING THE FRACTURE RESISTANCE OF DUCTILE MATERIALS. Responsible body: TC1 Subcommittee on Fracture Mechanics Testing Standards. P2-92 ESIS PROCEDURE FOR DETERMINING THE FRACTURE BEHAVIOUR OF MATERIALS. Responsible body: TC1 Subcommittee on Fracture Mechanics Testing Standards.
