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.
Draft International Standards adopted by the technical committees are circulated to the member bodies for voting.
Publication as an International Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the member bodies casting a vote.
International Standard ISO 9953 was prepared by Technical Committe ISO/TC 180, Solar energy.
Annex A forms an integral part of this International Standard.

Solar energy — Methods of testing preformed rubber seals
and sealing compounds used in collectors
1 Scope
1.1  This International Standard gives requirements for the classification and testing of rubbers used to seal solar
energy collectors in order to aid selection for specific applications.
NOTE  Particular rubber applications, when specified, may necessitate other requirements that take precedence over these
requirements.
1.2  The design requirements in this International Standard pertain only to permissible deflection of the rubber
during thermal expansion or retraction of the seal in use and to the tolerances on dimensions of moulded and
extruded seals.
1.3  This International Standard does not include requirements pertaining to geometrical design, fabrication or
installation of the seals.
1.4  This International Standard is applicable in conjunction with long-term ageing and weathering tests. However, if
long-term tests are performed, it is recommended that ISO 4892-2 be complied with for ageing tests and ISO 877
for accelerated weathering tests and material exposure tests, respectively.
NOTE  The environmental conditions, test specimen configuration and any test deviations should be agreed upon between the
parties involved. Also, if long-term tests are performed, the specific tests described in this International Standard should be
performed before and after long-term testing is carried out.
