This document applies predominantly to unreinforced and reinforced thermoplastic and thermosetting materials that can be injection- or compression-moulded or prepared as sheets of specified thickness.
Plastiques — Acquisition et présentation de caractéristiques intrinsèques comparables — Partie 1: Matériaux pour moulage
L'ISO 10350 identifie des méthodes d'essai spécifiques en vue de l'acquisition et de la présentation de données comparables relatives à certaines propriétés de base des matières plastiques. En général, chaque propriété est spécifiée par une valeur expérimentale unique; toutefois, dans certains cas, certaines propriétés sont représentées par deux valeurs obtenues dans des conditions d'essai différentes. Les propriétés indiquées sont celles qui sont traditionnellement présentées dans les fiches techniques des fabricants. L'ISO 10350-1 est avant tout applicable aux matériaux thermodurcissables ou thermoplastiques, renforcés ou non, susceptibles d'être moulés par compression ou injection ou préparés en feuilles ayant une épaisseur spécifiée. Pour les besoins du présent document, il est à noter que les plastiques renforcés de fibres longues ont des longueurs de fibre supérieures à 7,5 mm avant moulage. NOTE L'ISO 10350‑2 traite spécifiquement des plastiques renforcés de fibres longues ou continues.

Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards
bodies (ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through
ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical committee
has been established 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. ISO collaborates closely
with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization.
The procedures used to develop this document and those intended for its further maintenance are described
in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 1. In particular, the different approval criteria needed for the different types
of ISO document should be noted. This document was drafted in accordance with the editorial rules of the
ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2 (see www.iso.org/directives).
ISO draws attention to the possibility that the implementation of this document may involve the use of (a)
patent(s). ISO takes no position concerning the evidence, validity or applicability of any claimed patent
rights in respect thereof. As of the date of publication of this document, ISO had not received notice of (a)
patent(s) which may be required to implement this document. However, implementers are cautioned that
this may not represent the latest information, which may be obtained from the patent database available at
www.iso.org/patents. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
Any trade name used in this document is information given for the convenience of users and does not

Organization (WTO) principles in the Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT), see www.iso.org/iso/foreword.html.
This document was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 61, Plastics, Subcommittee SC 2, Mechanical
behavior, in collaboration with the European Committee for Standardization (CEN) Technical Committee
CEN/TC 249, Plastics, in accordance with the Agreement on technical cooperation between ISO and CEN
(Vienna Agreement).
This fourth edition cancels and replaces the third edition (ISO 10350-1:2017), which has been technically
revised.
The main changes are as follows:
— “Specimen type” columns have been clarified by adding specimen type designations specified in
ISO 20753;
— symbols of the stress at break and the strain at break have been harmonized with those used in ISO 527-1;
-
— the formula attached to the x-axis has been corrected;
— “Property” column 2.12 has been corrected to “2.12 Charpy unnotched impact strength”.

Introduction
The ISO 10350 series 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. The properties included are those presented conventionally in manufacturers' data sheets.
NOTE ISO 10350-2 deals specifically with long- or continuous-fibre-reinforced plastics. For the purpose of this
document, long-fibre-reinforced plastics are considered to have fibre length greater than 7,5 mm prior to moulding.
The ISO 10350 series has been prepared because users of plastics find that available data cannot always be
readily used to compare the properties of similar materials, especially when the data have been supplied
by different sources. Even when the same standard tests have been used, they often allow the adoption
of a wide range of alternative test conditions, and the data obtained are not necessarily comparable. The
purpose of this document is to identify specific methods and conditions of test to be used for the acquisition
and presentation of data in order that valid comparisons between materials can be made.
The ISO 10350 series is concerned with tests employed to present “single-point” data on the limited range of
properties commonly included in data sheets and used for the preliminary selection of materials. Such data
represent the most basic approach to the specification of properties of materials, and the ISO 10350 series
thus facilitates the first steps towards more efficient selection and use of plastics in the many applications to
which they are suited.
Complementary International Standards (i.e. ISO 11403-1, ISO 11403-2 and ISO 11403-3) are concerned
with the standardized acquisition and presentation of multipoint data, to demonstrate how properties
vary with important factors such as time, temperature and the presence of particular natural and chemical
environments. In these documents, some additional properties are included. Their use will provide a more
substantial database than one containing only single-point data, and so will enable improved assessment of
the fitness of a material for any particular application. In addition, ISO 11403-1, which deals with mechanical
properties, assists predictions of the performance of components and ISO 11403-2, covering thermal
and processing properties, aids predictions of melt-flow behaviour during manufacturing. ISO 11403-3
is concerned with environmental influences on properties, and other parts may be prepared to cover
additional properties.
