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 provides characteristics and typical values for poly(vinyl chloride) (PVC) recyclates intended for groups of defined applications (the product families).
The characteristics and typical values for the different product families are derived from the performance requirements of the products belonging to that family, including requirements for product manufacturing processes where applicable.
This document applies to plastic recyclates intended to be used for the manufacturing of (intermediate) products.
This document is intended to be used in conjunction with part 1 of this standard series, which describes the designation system for plastic recyclates. The designation system allows comparison between recycled and virgin material at the level of the polymer’s defined designatory properties.
NOTE 1   Examples of designations of plastic recyclates are given in Annex A.
NOTE 2   The selection of properties for a product family is based on EN ISO 10350 1, extended with specific properties related to plastic recyclates.

This document is the general part of the series that describes the designation system for plastic recyclates.
This document is dealing with recyclates after the recycling operation and prior to converting and compounding (when applicable). It is dealing with preparation of samples and determination of properties.
NOTE 1   This document supports the underlaying standards of this series that, per polymer type, provide an overview of the relevant characteristics and typical values for recyclates for use in certain application groups (product families) in combination with the relevant converting technologies.
NOTE 2   The overview of the relevant properties is based on and further extends the relevant properties given in EN ISO 10350 1.
