Adoption of a New Work Item - Plastics — Vocabulary — Part 6: Ageing, chemical and environmental resistance” and approval of VA with ISO lead

Scope

The ISO 472 series defines terms used in the plastics industry, including terms and definitions appearing in the plastics standards of ISO/TC 61 "Plastics" and general terms and definitions of polymer science used in all aspects of plastics technology.


This document defines terms used in the plastics standards of ISO/TC 61/SC 6 "Ageing, chemical and environmental resistance".

Purpose

ISO/TC 61 has decided to revise ISO 472:2013 by splitting it in several parts. Each part is being put in the responsibility of one of the ISO/TC 61/SCs. ISO 472-6 is being developed by ISO/TC 61/SC 6 “Ageing, chemical and environmental resistance”. The purpose of ISO 472-6 is to include all terms and definitions relevant to standards of ISO/TC 61/SC 6 in one standard.


ISO 472:2013 was adopted as EN ISO 472:2013. Therefore, the projects revising EN ISO 472:2013 should also be adopted as ENISO-standards in order to fully replace EN ISO 472:2013. It is beneficial for all stakeholders to use the same terms and definitions throughout the industry and thus, an adoption of ISO 472-6 as EN ISO 472-6 is sensible.


prEN ISO 472-6 is intended to partially replace EN ISO 472-6:2013.
