NF EN ISO 11357-1

Plastics - Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) - Part 1 : general principles

ISO 11357 specifies several differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) methods for the thermal analysis of polymers and polymer blends, such as

• thermoplastics (polymers, moulding compounds and other moulding materials, with or without fillers, fibres or reinforcements);
• thermosets (uncured or cured materials, with or without fillers, fibres or reinforcements);
• elastomers (with or without fillers, fibres or reinforcements).

ISO 11357 is intended for the observation and measurement of various properties of the above-mentioned materials, such as

• physical transitions (glass transition, phase transitions such as melting and crystallization, polymorphic transitions, etc.);
• chemical reactions (polymerization, crosslinking and curing of elastomers and thermosets, etc.);
• the stability to oxidation;
• the heat capacity.

ISO 11357-1:2009 specifies a number of general aspects of differential scanning calorimetry, such as the principle and the apparatus, sampling, calibration and general aspects of the procedure and test report common to all following parts.

Details on performing specific methods are given in subsequent parts of ISO 11357.

To comply with a standard, you need to quickly understand its issues in order to determine its impact on your activity.

The Requirements department helps you quickly locate within the normative text:
- mandatory clauses to satisfy,
- non-essential but useful clauses to know, such as permissions and recommendations.

The identification of these types of clauses is based on the document “ISO / IEC Directives, Part 2 - Principles and rules of structure and drafting of ISO documents ”as well as on a constantly enriched list of verbal forms.

With Requirements, quickly access the main part of the normative text!
