scope:

Specifies the methods of preparation of test specimens and the test methods to be used in determining the properties of polypropylene moulding and extrusion materials. Requirements for handling test material and for conditioning both of the test material before moulding and of the specimens before testing are found here. Procedures and conditions for the preparation of test specimens and procedures for measuring properties of the materials from which these specimens are made and given. Properties and test methods which are suitable and necessary to characterize polypropylene moulding and extrusion materials are listed. The properties have been selected from the general test methods in ISO 10350. Other test methods in wide use for or of particular significance to these moulding and extrusion materials are also included in this part of the standard, as are the designatory properties found in Part 1.
