That would make the most sense, Dullahan. Maybe it’s coincidence, but the numbers listed here so far are within the range of the A scale used for softer TPE hardness. Maybe that’s what they’re using.
To Anung’s point, adding the flexural modulus stiffness test would help determine durability of the TPE since it would approximate ability of being stretched around bent knees and elbows and being stretched when a doll’s arms are raised or legs spread.
Edit: I just thought I’d this. Using shore hardness, the lower the reading the softer the material. That’s the opposite of what was stated in the original post.
