EN ISO 1043 Standard Test for Plastics, Symbols and Abbreviated Terms

EUROLAB laboratory provides testing and compliance services within the scope of EN ISO 1043 standard. EN ISO 1043 defines abbreviated terms for basic polymers used in plastics, symbols for the components of these terms and symbols for special characteristics of plastics.

EN ISO 1043 Standard Test for Plastics, Symbols and Abbreviated Terms

It contains only abbreviated terms that have come into established use, and its purpose is to both prevent the emergence of multiple abbreviated terms for a particular plastic and to prevent multiple interpretations of a particular abbreviated term.

Guidance on the preparation of new abbreviated terms, reference lists of symbols for the components of plastics terms used to form the abbreviated terms for plastics, and a classification of abbreviated terms for polymers grouped by type are given in the appendices.

To distinguish key molecular properties within a particular type of generic plastic material, additional symbols are provided to guide their use. The use of symbols to describe only subjectively detectable features should be avoided as this can lead to confusion.
