ICS 83.080 is a classification code in the International Classification for Standards (ICS) system. It covers "Plastics". The ICS is a hierarchical classification system used to organize international, regional, and national standards, facilitating the search and identification of standards across different fields.
There are 4734 standards classified under ICS 83.080 (Plastics). These standards are published by international and regional standardization bodies including ISO, IEC, CEN, CENELEC, and ETSI.
The International Classification for Standards (ICS) is a hierarchical classification system maintained by ISO to organize standards and related documents. It uses a three-level structure with field (2 digits), group (3 digits), and sub-group (2 digits) codes. The ICS helps users find standards by subject area and enables statistical analysis of standards development activities.

This document specifies a method of measuring smoke production from the exposed surface of specimens of materials or composites. It is applicable to specimens that have an essentially flat surface and do not exceed 25 mm in thickness when placed in a horizontal orientation and subjected to specified levels of thermal irradiance in a closed cabinet with or without the application of a pilot flame. This method of test is applicable to all plastics.
It is intended that the values of optical density determined by this test be taken as specific to the specimen or assembly material in the form and thickness tested and are not to be considered inherent, fundamental properties.
The test is intended primarily for use in research and development and fire safety engineering in buildings, trains, ships, etc. and not as a basis for ratings for building codes or other purposes. No basis is provided for predicting the density of smoke that can be generated by the materials upon exposure to heat and flame under other (actual) exposure conditions. This test procedure excludes the effect of irritants on the eye.
NOTE This test procedure addresses the loss of visibility due to smoke density, which generally is not related to irritancy potency (see Annex E).
It is emphasized that smoke production from a material varies according to the irradiance level to which the specimen is exposed. The results yielded from the method specified in this document are based on exposure to the specific irradiance levels of 25 kW/m2 and 50 kW/m2.

This document specifies a mould (designated the type F ISO mould) for the injection moulding of plates with a preferred size of 80 mm × 120 mm, and a preferred thickness of 2 mm for single-point and multi-point data acquisition. Suitable test specimens according to ISO 20753 type A22 or B3 are then machined or stamped from the plates and used to obtain information on the anisotropy. For the design of plastic parts, this will provide upper and lower bounds for the tensile properties.
Investigation of the anisotropy of materials is a special procedure intended to provide guidance in the design of mouldings for end-use applications and is not intended as a quality control tool.
In the injection moulding of thermoplastic materials, the flow of molten polymer can influence the orientation of fillers such as fibreglass or the orientation of polymer chains, resulting in anisotropic behaviour.
For the purposes of this document, the flow direction is defined as the direction from the gate to the far end of the mould cavity and the cross direction as the direction perpendicular to the flow direction.
The type F mould is not intended to replace the type D mould used to determine the moulding shrinkage of thermoplastics.

This document specifies a method for the determination of the thermal stability at elevated temperature of compounds and products based on vinyl chloride homopolymers and copolymers (in the following text abbreviated as PVC) which undergo dehydrochlorination (the evolution of hydrogen chloride).
This document is applicable to the characterization of PVC compounds and products, especially with regard to the effectiveness of their heat-stabilizing systems.
It is applicable to coloured PVC compounds and products where a discolouration test under the action of heat can be unsatisfactory.
This document is applicable to compounded PVC materials and products. It can be applicable to polymers in powder form under appropriate conditions, depending on the agreement between the interested parties.
This document does not apply to PVC compounds in the form of dry blends, since such materials might not be sufficiently homogeneous.
This document does not apply to PVC compounds and products which evolve other decomposition products, in addition to hydrogen chloride, at elevated temperatures that can affect the conductivity of water when they are absorbed into it.
NOTE In this case, ISO 182-4 [2] provides the suitable method for the determination of chloride ion (Cl−) in the absorbing solution.
This document can also be applied to other plastics materials which can evolve hydrogen chloride or other hydrogen halides when heated under the conditions prescribed by the relevant specifications, or as agreed upon between the interested parties.

This document establishes the terms, definitions, methodologies and calculations that are necessary for the recovery and recycling of waste from plastic products and materials labelled as industrially compostable through organic recycling. It identifies the different types of organic recycling technologies used in the recovery and subsequent recycling of industrially compostable plastics waste arising from pre-consumer and post-consumer sources. It also establishes the requirements and calculations to be considered in evaluating organic recycling inputs and outputs and determining output classifications for the recycling operation and the downstream integration points. This document also outlines general quality requirements to be applied in all steps of the recovery process, and provides general recommendations for inclusion in material standards, test standards and product specifications. The process stages, requirements, recommendations and terminology presented in this document are intended to be of general applicability. This document does not establish test methods and criteria for the definition of the organic recyclability (e.g. compostability) of plastic materials and products. This document refers to plastic waste deriving from products that have been classified as suitable for recovery through organic recycling by the relevant reference standards (e.g. ISO 17088, ISO 18606), and therefore labelled as industrially compostable. These products are generally called “industrially compostable” (e.g. compostable bag, compostable tableware) meaning “suitable for organic recycling”, independently of the treatment technology used for recycling (whether it is composting, or a combination of anaerobic digestion and composting, or only anaerobic digestion). This document does not address home composting because this gardening practice cannot be classified as recycling.

This document specifies the general “design for recycling” guidelines for EPS raw materials. It provides guidance on the impact of specific design characteristics on the recyclability of the product in practice and recommended design options to ensure that the product is recyclable, including target values and performance ranges, where applicable. It also provides a definition of recyclable product and of design for recycling.
This document refers to EPS thermal insulation products but may be used for other EPS construction products where appropriate.
This document refers to the recycling processes of EPS insulation products. The sorting and collecting steps are not part of this document.
This document takes into account all currently known recycling processes that are suitable to enable the circular economy for insulation materials. Particular attention is paid to ensuring that the most energy-efficient processes are given preference, especially mechanical recycling.
For some of these processes, practical experience has been gained over many years, so a basic knowledge base for the development of a guideline is already available.
At the same time, it is important to also take into account future-oriented processes, for which at the moment little but increasing experience is available or which have so far only been implemented on a small scale.
