For materials with conventional grain size (of the order of micrometers), it
is the strength corresponding to 0.2% offset that determines the yield
strength. This point is considered to mark the plastic deformation of
majority of the grains in the sample. This criterion is closely linked to the
sensitivity of the equipment that measures the stress-strain response.
The equipment thus needs to be capable enough to detect the elasticplastic transition to atleast precisely measure the 0.2% offset stress.

It is mostly proof strength. In case of brittle materials, since they don't
have yield point for predicting strength at yield we use this method of
0.2% proof strength. Further, 0.2% is constant strain when specimen is
loaded under tension.

tension test, to avoid dynamic effects, the rate of load application has to
be slow (as answered by Prof. Tarik mer Ourtani) such that it is quasistatic . But the rate of loading may vary with different materials. Further,
this offset strain of 0.2% for yield stress is by ASTM, whereas in England,
0.1% and 0.5 % is commonly used. Essentially 0.2% offset method of
yield stress gives reproducible values though it is an approximate
measure (and accepted in engineering sense) of the transition form

elastic to onset of plastic deformation. But for metals and alloys (e.g.
mild steel) that display distinct yield point phenomenon (i.e., upper yield
stress, lower yield stress and yield point elongation) due to dislocation solute interactions, generally it is preferred to take the lower yield stress
value, as this value is less sensitive to dynamic effects and is also
conservative. (for YS: please see the link if you have access:
