— The Technical Committee “Ceramics” (TC 6) of the European Structural Integrity Society (ESIS) organized a round robin relating to the fracture toughness of ceramic materials at room temperature. Five materials were tested with five testing methods by eighteen laboratories. The five testing methods were: chevron notched beam in four point bending, direct measurement of the cracks emanating from a Vickers indentation, indentation strength by four‐point bending, single edge precracked beam in four‐point bending, and single edge notched beam in four‐point bending. The results of the round robin performed in the period 1993 to 1994 are presented and discussed.
