EN ISO 9988-1 Plastics - Polyoxymethylene (POM) Molding and Extrusion Materials - Part 1: Identification System and Specifications

EUROLAB, with its state-of-the-art accredited laboratories and expert team, provides precise and fast testing services within the scope of EN ISO 9988-1 testing. EN ISO 9988-1 establishes a designation system for polyoxymethylene (POM) thermoplastic materials that can be used as a basis for specifications.

Types of polyoxymethylene plastics are distinguished by a classification system based on appropriate levels of the following defining characteristics: melt mass-flow rate or melt volume-flow rate, tensile modulus and key polymer parameters, intended application, processing method, key properties, additives, colorants, fillers and reinforcing materials.

This part of EN ISO 9988 is applicable to all polyoxymethylene homopolymers and polyoxymethylene copolymers and polymer blends containing polyoxymethylene. Normal ready-to-use materials in the form of powders, granules or pellets, and colorants, additives, fillers, etc. It is applied to unmodified and unmodified materials.

Materials with the same designation do not necessarily mean that they give the same performance. This part of ISO 9988 does not provide engineering data, performance data, or data on processing conditions that may be required to specify materials for certain end-use applications.

If a property value falls on or near a range limit, the manufacturer must specify which range will determine the material. If subsequent individual test values ​​lie above or on both sides of the range limit due to manufacturing tolerances, the assignment is not affected.

EUROLAB assists manufacturers with EN ISO 9988-1 test compliance. Our test experts, with their professional working mission and principles, provide you, our manufacturers and suppliers, the best service and controlled testing process in our laboratories. Thanks to these services, businesses receive more effective, high-performance and quality testing services and provide safe, fast and uninterrupted service to their customers.
