Overview

ISO 6916-1:1995/Amd 1:2007 is an important amendment to the international standard specifying requirements for flexible cellular polymeric materials, specifically sponge and expanded cellular rubber products in sheeting form. Developed by ISO/TC 45 (Rubber and rubber products), this amendment updates and refines test methods, normative references, and specifications to ensure consistent quality and performance of these materials in various applications. The document offers guidance on testing procedures, materials handling, and quality control, enhancing reliability for manufacturers and users of cellular rubber sheeting products.

Key Topics

  • Scope: Focuses on sheeting made from sponge and expanded cellular rubber materials-used widely in sealing, cushioning, and insulating applications.
  • Test Method Updates: Incorporates revisions to critical tests such as:
    • Accelerated ageing and heat resistance (ISO 188:1998)
    • Resistance to ozone cracking (ISO 1431-1:2004)
    • Staining with organic materials (ISO 3865:2005)
    • Mechanical testing equipment specifications (ISO 5893:2002, ISO 7500-1:2004)
  • Sample Preparation: Emphasizes updated procedures for preparing and conditioning test specimens (ISO 23529:2004), ensuring consistency in physical tests.
  • Quality Control: Enhances force measurement accuracy through adoption of stringent calibration requirements for testing machines.
  • Environmental Exposure: Detailed methods for simulating light and water exposure to evaluate material durability over time.

Applications

This standard amendment is invaluable for industries that rely on high-quality flexible cellular polymeric sheeting, including:

  • Automotive Industry: Use in sealing gaskets, vibration dampers, and noise insulation components.
  • Construction: Application in flexible seals, expansion joints, and thermal insulation foams.
  • Manufacturing: Producing cushioning pads, shock absorbers, and protective sheeting for sensitive equipment.
  • Consumer Goods: Used in household appliances and sporting goods requiring flexible sponge rubber materials.
  • Research & Development: Benchmarking new formulations of sponge and cellular rubbers for performance and durability testing.

Related Standards

To fully implement ISO 6916-1:1995/Amd 1:2007 effectively, familiarity with the following related ISO standards is recommended:

  • ISO 188:1998 - Rubber, vulcanized or thermoplastic: Accelerated ageing and heat resistance tests.
  • ISO 1431-1:2004 - Rubber: Resistance to ozone cracking testing methods.
  • ISO 1817:2005 - Rubber or plastics: Resistance tests to liquids.
  • ISO 3865:2005 - Rubber: Methods for staining tests with organic materials.
  • ISO 5893:2002 - Specification for tensile, flexural, and compression test equipment.
  • ISO 7500-1:2004 - Verification and calibration of static uniaxial testing machines.
  • ISO 23529:2004 - Procedures for preparing and conditioning rubber test pieces.

These standards collectively support rigorous quality assurance and testing regimes for flexible cellular polymeric products.

By adhering to ISO 6916-1:1995/Amd 1:2007, manufacturers can ensure their sponge and expanded cellular rubber sheeting products meet internationally recognized quality and performance benchmarks. This contributes to improved product reliability, safety, and customer satisfaction across multiple industries utilizing flexible cellular polymeric materials.

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.
International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2.
The main task of technical committees is to prepare International Standards. Draft International Standards
adopted by the technical committees are circulated to the member bodies for voting. Pub
