ISO 11403-3 Plastics - Obtaining Comparable Multipoint Data - Environmental Impacts on Properties

EUROLAB, with its state-of-the-art accredited laboratories and expert team, provides precise and fast testing services within the scope of ISO 11403-3 testing. This standard specifies test procedures for obtaining and presenting multi-point data showing the behavior of plastics in the following environments:

  • prolonged exposure to heat;
  • Liquid chemicals;
  • Environmental stress cracking under a constant tensile stress;
  • Artificial decomposition.

The tests are listed in order of increasing severity of the environment. By testing in the least severe environments first, it is possible to make informed decisions about whether testing is beneficial under more severe conditions.

Environmental factors covered by the standard include exposure to light, heat and humidity, as well as exposure to various chemicals and other substances. The standard also includes guidance on the types of test specimens to be used, test conditions and equipment required, and the calculation and reporting of test results.

ISO 11403-3 is particularly useful to plastic manufacturers and users who need to understand how environmental factors can affect the properties of different materials. The standard allows for accurate comparisons between different materials under various environmental conditions, providing a reliable and repeatable method for data retrieval and presentation.

It is important to note that although ISO 11403-3 provides a useful tool for obtaining and presenting data on environmental impacts on the properties of plastics, it is not the only factor to consider when choosing a material for a particular application. Apart from other factors such as mechanical properties, chemical resistance and cost, the specific environmental conditions to which the material will be exposed in its intended application must also be considered. Therefore, it is important to consider all relevant factors when choosing a plastic material for a particular application.
