EN ISO 291 Plastics - Standard Atmospheres for Conditioning and Testing

EUROLAB laboratory provides testing and compliance services within the scope of EN ISO 291 standard. ISO 291 lays down specifications for the conditioning and testing of all plastics and all types of test specimens under constant atmospheric conditions.

EN ISO 291 Plastics - Standard Atmospheres for Conditioning and Testing

Special atmospheres applicable to a particular test or material or simulating a particular climatic environment are not included in this International Standard.

The standard atmosphere is the preferred fixed atmosphere, in which the limit ranges for atmospheric pressure and air circulation rate are specified, as well as the specific air temperature and humidity values, the air does not contain any significant additional components and the atmosphere is not subject to any significant additional components.

Standard atmospheres correspond to average atmospheric conditions in laboratories and can be created in conditioning (controlled atmosphere) cabinets, chambers or chambers.

If a test specimen is exposed to a certain conditioning atmosphere or temperature, then the test specimen conditioning
A state of repeatable temperature or humidity equilibrium is reached between

If humidity has no or only negligible effect on the properties studied, relative humidity does not need to be controlled. The corresponding environments are referred to as "temperature 23" and "temperature 27", respectively.

Similarly, neither temperature nor relative humidity should be controlled if neither temperature nor humidity have a noticeable effect on the properties studied. In this case, the atmospheric condition is referred to as "ambient temperature".
