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 commis- sion (iec) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization. international standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the iso/iec directives, part 3. 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 15526 may be the subject of patent rights. iso shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights. international standard iso 15526-1 was prepared by technical committee iso/tc 61,plastics, subcommittee sc 9,thermoplastic materials. iso 15526 consists of the following parts, under the general titleplastics polyketone (pk) moulding and extrusion materials: part 1: designation system and basis for specifications part 2: preparation of test specimens and determination of properties en iso 155261:2004 licensed copy: sheffieldun sheffieldun, na, mon nov 20 02:38:45

-625510002:1)e( 1 plastics polyketone (pk) moulding and extrusion materials part 1: designation system and basis for specifications 1scope 1.1this part of iso 15526 establishes a system of designation for pk thermoplastic material which may be used as the basis for specifications. pk polymer chains are built up from regularly alternating olefinic units and keto groups. the olefinic units may be essentially all ethylene, or they may be, e.g., randomly distributed ethylene and pro- pylene, butene or hexene. 1.2the types of polyketone plastics are differentiated from each other by a classification system based on appropriate levels of the designatory properties a)melting temperature b)melt volume-flow rate c)temperature of deflection under load and on information about basic polymer parameters, intended application and/or method of processing, important properties, additives, colorants, fillers and reinforcing materials. 1.3this part of iso 15526 applies to materials ready for normal use in the form of powder, granules or pellets and to materials unmodified or modified by colorants, additives, fillers, etc. 1.4it is not intended to imply that materials having the same designation give necessarily the same performance. this part of iso 15526 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 15526-2, if suitable. 1.5in 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). 2normative references the following normative documents contain provisions which, through reference in this text, constitute provisions of this part of iso 15526. 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 15526 are encouraged to investigate the possibility of applying the most recent editions of the normative documents indicated below. for undated references, the latest edition of the normative document referred to applies. members of iso and iec maintain registers of currently

thermoplastics is based on the following standardized pattern: the designation consists of an optional description block, reading “thermoplastics”, and an identity block comprising the international standard number and an individual-item block. for unambiguous coding, the individual-item block is subdivided into 5 data blocks comprising the following information: the first character of the individual-item block shall be a hyphen. the data blocks shall be separated from each other by commas. if a data block is not used, this shall be indicated by doubling the separation sign, i.e. by two commas (,). 3.2data block 1 in this data block, after the hyphen, polyketone plastics are identified by the symbol pk, in accordance with iso 1043-1, followed by a hyphen and 1 or 2 code-letters stating the olefinic units in the chain, as specified in table 1. designation description block (optional) identity block international standard number block individual-item block data block 1 data

properties, additives and colour in positions 2 to 8. the code-letters used are specified in ta- ble 2. if information is presented in positions 2 to 8 and no specific information is given in position 1, the letter x shall be inserted in position 1. 3.4data block 3 3.4.1general in this data block, the range of the melting temperature is represented by a 3-figure code-number (see 3.4.2), the melt volume-flow rate by a code-letter followed by a 3-figure code-number (see 3.4.3) and the temperature of deflec- tion under load by a 3-figure code-number (see 3.4.4). the code-numbers are separated from each other by hy- phens. if a property value falls on or near a range limit, the manufacturer shall state which range will designate the material. if subsequent individual test values lie on, or on either side of, the limit because of manufacturing tolerances, the des- ignation is not affected. notenot all combinations of the values of the designatory properties may be possible for currently available polymers. table 2 code-letters used in data block 2 code-letterposition 1code-letterpositions 2 to 8 aadhesivesaprocessing stabilized bblow mouldingbantiblocking ccalenderingccoloured
