You have to be a little more specific about what you want to test. I know for example the threepoint bending, the for point bending, the ring on ring test, Pendulum tests Ball drop test and so on. What do you meen by durability? if you mean lifetime prediction you have to use Weibull statistics.

References for Europe Beuth Verlag they have all the standards also in english, or try ASTM for US Standards, the methods are similar
