ISO 10350 identifies specific
test procedures for the acquisition and presentation of comparable
data for certain basic properties of plastics. In general, each
property is specified by a single experimental value, although in
certain cases properties are represented by two values obtained
under different test conditions or along different directions in
the material. The properties included are those presented
conventionally in manufacturers' data sheets.
This document applies to reinforced thermoplastic and
thermosetting materials where the reinforcement fibres are either
discontinuous with a fibre length prior to processing greater than
7,5 mm or continuous (e.g. fabric, continuous-strand mat or
unidirectional).
ISO 10350-1 deals specifically
with unreinforced and filled plastics, including those using fibres
less than 7,5 mm in length.
