4.1.3. Capable of testing specimens of standard size 10 x 10 x 55 mm down to sub-size 10 x 2.5 x 55 mm.

4.1.4. Provide an indicating device for measuring the absorbed energy of the broken specimen.

4.1.5. Minimum energy capacity of 400J (300 ft-lbs). Maximum energy for the tester should be as close to 400J (300 ft-lbs) as achievable, but not under.
