Question about tensile testing

I was informed that only type IV specimens in tensile testing of plastics according to ASTM D638 are accredited by ISO 17025. May I know why that is?

No reference materials are accredited by ISO 17025. The laboratory must determine the reference material/specimen criteria for any standard methods used,  and ensure these are complied with. I cannot comment specifically on a sector requirement.

For more information, have a look at

The article: What does ISO 17025:2017 require for laboratory measurement equipment and related procedures? at https://advisera.com/17025academy/blog/2019/07/25/iso-17025-measurement-requirements-of-the-standard/
