Plastics - Symbols and abbreviated terms - Part 1: Basic polymers and their special characteristics (ISO 1043-1:2001)

Kunststoffe - Kennbuchstaben und Kurzbezeichnungen - Teil 1: Basis-Polymere und ihre besonderen Eigenschaften (ISO 1043-1:2001)

Dieser Teil von ISO 1043 enthält einheitliche Kurzzeichen für Kunststoffe und Kennbuchstaben für den Aufbau dieser Kurzzeichen, wie auch Kennbuchstaben zur Kennzeichnung besonderer Eigenschaften der Kunststoffe. Er enthält nur solche Kurzzeichen, welche in unzweifelhaftem Gebrauch sind mit dem Ziel, sowohl das Auftreten von mehr als einem Kurzzeichen für einen bestehenden Kunststoffnamen als auch die mehrdeutige Interpretation eines Kurzzeichens zu verhüten.
ANMERKUNG 1   Für Kennbuchstaben von Füll- und Verstärkungsstoffen siehe ISO 1043-2, für Weichmacher siehe ISO 1043-3 und für Flammschutzmittel siehe ISO 1043-4. Die Nomenklatur für Kautschuke und Latices ist festgelegt in ISO 1629:1995, "Kautschuke und Latices - Einteilung und Kurzzeichen". Die Nomenklatur für Thermoplastische Elastomere ist gegeben in ISO 18064 "Thermoplastic elastomers - Abbreviated terms and nomenclature" (wird veröffentlicht).
ANMERKUNG 2   Eine Anleitung zur Erstellung von neuen Kurzzeichen steht im informativen Anhang A. Eine Referenzliste von Kennbuchstaben für die Bestandteile von Kunststoffen, die zur Bildung von Kurzzeichen gebraucht werden, ist im informativen Anhang B zu finden.

Plastiques - Symboles et termes abrégés - Partie 1: Polymeres de base et leurs caractéristiques spéciales (ISO 1043-1:2001)

La présente partie de l'ISO 1043 fournit des termes abrégés pour les polymères de base relatifs aux plastiques, des symboles pour les éléments constitutifs de ces termes ainsi que des symboles pour des caractéristiques particulières des plastiques. Elle ne comprend que les termes abrégés dont l'usage est consacré et son but est double: prévenir l'apparition de plusieurs abréviations pour un plastique donné et empêcher qu'une abréviation donnée ne soit interprétée de plusieurs façons différentes.
NOTE 1 Pour les symboles des charges et des matériaux de renforcement, voir l'ISO 1043-2, pour les symboles et termes abrégés des plastifiants, voir l'ISO 1043-3 et pour les ignifuges, voir l'ISO 1043-4. La nomenclature relative au caoutchouc et latex est donnée dans l'ISO 1629, Caoutchouc et latex - Nomenclature. La nomenclature pour les élastomères thermoplastiques est donnée dans l'ISO 18064, Élastomères thermoplastiques - Termes abrégés et nomenclature (à publier).
NOTE 2 Des indications relatives à l'établissement de nouveaux termes abrégés sont données dans l'annexe informative A, et des listes de référence des symboles pour les composants des termes désignant des plastiques utilisés pour former les termes abrégés pour les plastiques sont données dans l'annexe informative B.

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.
International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 3.
The main task of technical committees is to prepare International Standards. 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.
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this part of ISO 1043 may be the subject of patent
rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
ISO 1043-1 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 61, Plastics, Subcommittee SC 1, Terminology.
This third edition cancels and replaces the second edition (ISO 1043-1:1997), which has been technically revised.
ISO 1043 consists of the following parts, under the general title Plastics — Symbols and abbreviated terms:
 Part 1: Basic polymers and their special characteristics
 Part 2: Fillers and reinforcing materials
 Part 3: Plasticizers
 Part 4: Flame retardants
Annexes A and B of this part of ISO 1043 are for information only.

INTERNATIONAL STANDARD ISO 1043-1:2001(E)


Plastics — Symbols and abbreviated terms —
Part 1:
Basic polymers and their special characteristics
1 Scope
This part of ISO 1043 provides abbreviated terms for the basic polymers used in plastics, symbols for components
of these terms, and symbols for special characteristics of plastics. It includes only those abbreviated terms that
have come into established use and its aim is both to prevent the occurrence of more than one abbreviated term
for a given plastic and to prevent a given abbreviated term being interpreted in more than one way.
NOTE 1 For symbols for fillers and reinforcing materials, see ISO 1043-2, for plasticizers see ISO 1043-3, and for flame
retardants see ISO 1043-4. Nomenclature for rubbers and latices is given in ISO 1629, Rubber and latices — Nomenclature.
Nomenclature for thermoplastic elastomers is given in ISO 18064, Thermoplastic elastomers — Abbreviated terms and
nomenclature (to be published).
NOTE 2 Guidance for the preparation of new abbreviated terms is given in informative annex A, and reference lists of
symbols for the components of plastics terms used to form the abbreviated terms for plastics are given in informative annex B.
2 Normative reference
The following normative document contains provisions which, through reference in this text, constitute provisions of
this part of ISO 1043. For dated references, subsequent amendments to, or revisions of, any of these publications
do not apply. However, parties to agreements based on this part of ISO 1043 are encouraged to investigate the
possibility of applying the most recent edition of the normative document indicated below. For undated references,
the latest edition of the normative document referred to applies. Members of ISO and IEC maintain registers of
currently valid International Standards.
ISO 472, Plastics — Vocabulary
3 Terms and definitions
For the purposes of this part of ISO 1043, the terms and definitions given in ISO 472 and the following term and
definition apply.
3.1
abbreviated term
term resulting from the omission of any part of a term while designating the same concept
4 Use of symbols and abbreviated terms
4.1 Abbreviated terms for homopolymeric, copolymeric and natural polymeric materials are given in clause 5,
and symbols for special characteristics are given in clause 6. Examples of the use of abbreviated terms are given
in clause 7.

4.2 To distinguish the essential molecular characteristics within a given generic type of plastics material,
additional symbols, with guidance for their use, are provided. The use of symbols for describing properties that can
only be ascertained subjectively should be avoided since this can lead to confusion.
4.3 The abbreviated terms are primarily intended to be a convenient shorthand for chemical names in
publications and other written matter. They are not intended for the selection of materials. The abbreviated terms
also are useful for indicating the type of basic polymer in materials and products, e.g. ABS moulding material, PA
film, PE sheeting and PVC pipe.
4.4 Only capital letters shall be used for symbols and abbreviated terms.
4.5 The first appearance of an abbreviated term in a text shall be enclosed in parentheses and shall be preceded
by the term written in full.
