Foreword
IS0 (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of
national standards institutes (IS0 member bodies). The work of developing Inter-
national Standards is carried out through IS0 technical committees. Every member
body interested in a subject for which a technical committee has been set up has the
right to be represented on that committee. International organizations, governmental
and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work.
Draft International Standards adopted by the technical committees are circulated to
the member bodies for approval before their acceptance as International Standards by
the IS0 Council.
International Standard IS0 175 was developed by Technical Committee ISO/TC 61,
Plastics, and was circulated to the member bodies in March 1979.
It has been approved by the member bodies of the following countries :
Belgium Hungary Romania
Brazil India
South Africa, Rep. of
Bulgaria
Israel Spain
Canada Italy Sweden
China Korea, Rep. of Switzerland
Czechoslovakia Japan Turkey
Egypt, Arab Rep. of Libyan Arab Jamahiriya United Kingdom
Finland Netherlands USA
France New Zealand USSR
Germany, F. R. Poland
No member body expressed disapproval of the document.
This International Standard cancels and replaces IS0 Recom mendations R 175-1961
and R 4624965, of which it constitutes a technical revision.
