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.
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.
International Standard ISO 11403-3 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 61, , Subcommittee
Plastics
SC 2, Mechanical properties.
ISO 11403 consists of the following parts, under the general title Plastics — Acquisition and presentation of
comparable multipoint data:
 Part 1: Mechanical properties
 Part 2: Thermal and processing properties
 Part 3: Environmental influences on properties
Owing to the wide range of properties that are included in ISO 11403, it has been necessary to develop the standard in
stages, dividing the contents into parts. In this way, each part can be further developed separately and further parts
can be added when appropriate.
Annex B forms an integral part of this part of ISO 11403. Annex A is for information only.

Introduction
This International Standard has been prepared because users of plastics find sometimes that available data cannot
be used readily to compare the properties of similar materials, especially when the data have been supplied by
different sources. Even when the same standard tests have been used, they often allow the adoption of a wide
range of alternative test conditions, and the data obtained are not necessarily comparable. The purpose of this
International Standard is to identify specific methods and conditions of test to be used for the acquisition and
presentation of data in order that valid comparisons between materials can be made. These data are not
necessarily suitable for design.
1)
ISO 10350 is concerned with single-point data. Such data represent the most basic method for characterizing
materials and are useful for the initial stages of material selection. The present International Standard identifies test
conditions and procedures for the measurement and presentation of a more substantial quantity of data. Each
property here is characterized by multipoint data which demonstrate how that property depends upon important
variables such as time, temperature and environmental effects. Additional properties are also considered in this
standard. These data therefore enable more discriminating decisions to be made regarding the material's suitability
for a particular application. Some data are also considered adequate for undertaking predictions of performance in
service and of optimum processing conditions for moulding a component, although it should be recognized that, for
purposes of design, additional data will often be needed. One reason for this is that some properties are strongly
dependent upon the physical structure of the material. The test procedures referred to in this standard employ
standard test specimens, and the polymer structure in these specimens may be significantly different from that in
specific regions of a moulded component. Under these circumstances, therefore, the data will not be suitable for
accurate design calculations for product performance. The material supplier should be consulted for specific
information on the applicability of data.
ISO 10350 and the various parts of this International Standard together define the means for acquiring and
presenting a core set of comparable data for use in material selection. Use of these standards should result in a
rationalization of effort and a reduction of cost associated with provision of these data. Furthermore, reference to
these standards will simplify the development of data models for the comput
