Dear All,
I am a research student, I am facing a problem that the colleagues have raised the question regarding the safety of CFRP destructive testing.  
Mostly my tests are destructive testing both static testing in Universal testing machine and Dynamic testing with Pendulum (similar to Izod and charpy), Drop tower testing and may be next year testing profile structures in Crash test facility.

The problem is that right now I want to do some test in my Lab where other researchers also work. They are afraid about the safety issues. So I need some safety norms from european union or other commitee so that I can follow the safety precaution as per that. 

Is there any specific safety norms to be followed while performing these tests?

It would be of great help. Thanking you in advance.

Regards
Sequeira Gerald

We do not carry out our own in house destructive testing so do not have any specific data on the kind of standards for protective shielding for this kind of work.  Perhaps ask the lab tech's in your facility if they have any documentation for the universities own machinery. You may be able to get a formal "standard" for such protection and work from there. 

We certainly would not advise any such testing without adequate correct protection as carbon fibre composites tend to fail producing very sharp splinters and dust which could present a significant hazard.

I am working on simulation of carbon fibre tube roll wrapped, with Toray t700 fibre. Below is the link of the specimen.

Hi,

The Roll Wrapped tubes are made using a epoxy based pre-preg so the matrix is cured epoxy resin.
