NF EN ISO 4894-1
Plastics. Styrene/acrylonitrile (SAN) moulding and extrusion materials. Part 1 : designation system and basis for specifications.
La présente norme décrit et explicite le système de désignation des matières à mouler et à extruder à base de copolymère de styrène et d'acrylonitrile (SAN). La désignation comprend quatre parties comportant respectivement et successivement : le symbole, l'application envisagée ou le procédé de transformation, les caractéristiques essentielles, les propriétés de désignation. Pour les trois dernières parties, les informations sont codées à l'aide de lettres ou chiffres dont les significations sont précisées dans la norme. Les éléments déterminants qui permettent de lire la désignation sont la référence de la norme en tête, puis l'ordre dans lequel se succèdent les lettres et les chiffres. La désignation ne comporte pas d'information sur la mise en oeuvre, elle ne précise pas les caractéristiques nécessaires pour spécifier le thermoplastique pour une utilisation et selon un procédé de transformation donnés.
ISO 19064-1:2015 establishes a system of designation for styrene/acrylonitrile (SAN) moulding and extrusion materials, which may be used as the basis for specifications. The types of styrene/acrylonitrile plastic are differentiated from each other by a classification system based on appropriate levels of the designatory properties, a) Vicat softening temperature, b) melt mass-flow rate, and on information about composition, intended application and/or method of processing, important properties, additives, colorants, fillers and reinforcing materials. ISO 19064-1:2015 is applicable to all copolymers of styrene and/or substituted styrene having between 5 % (m/m) and 50 % (m/m) acrylonitrile. It applies to materials ready for normal use, unmodified or modified by colorants, additives, fillers, etc. ISO 19064-1:2015 does not apply to expandable materials. It is not intended to imply that materials having the same designation give necessarily the same performance. This part of ISO 19064 does not provide engineering data, performance data or data on processing conditions which may be required to specify a material for a particular application and/or method of processing. If such additional properties are required, they shall be determined in accordance with the test methods specified in ISO 4894-2, if suitable. In order to specify a thermoplastic material for a particular application or to ensure reproducible processing, additional requirements may be given in data block 5 (see 3.1).
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.
