scope:

Purpose. This standard enables the global production of high quality injection mold tools at the lowest investment cost. Essential part specific concessions to this standard must be agreed upon by the GM Polymers Engineer (when resources are allocated) the GM Product Development Design Engineer (DE), the molding supplier, and the tool source.

Note: All references within this document to GM Engineering will refer to the GM Polymers Engineer, unless one is not allocated, at which the reference will be to the GM Product Engineer.

Applicability. This standard applies to the design and construction of injection mold tools that will produce thermoplastic vehicle parts globally.
