The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical committee has been established has the right to be represented on that committee. International organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization. Draft International Standards adopted by the technical committees are circulated to the member bodies for voting. Publication as an International Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the member bodies casting a vote. International Standard ISO 10366-1 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 61, Plastics, Sub-Committee SC 9, Thermoplastic materials. ISO 10366 consists of the following parts, under the general title Plastics Methyl methacrylate/acrylonitrile/butadiene/styrene (MABS) moulding and extrusion materials: Part 1: Designation system and basis for specifications; Part 2: Preparation of test specimens and determination of properties.

It applies to materials ready for normal use in the form of powder, granules or pellets and to materials unmodified or modified by colorants, additives, fillers, etc. 1.4 It is not intended to imply that materials having the same designation give necessarily the same performance. This part of ISO 10366 does not provide engineering data, performance data or data on processing conditions which may be required to specify a material for a particular application and/or method of processing. If such additional properties are required, they shall be determined in accordance with the test methods specified in part 2 of this International Standard, if suitable. 1.5 In order to specify a thermoplastic material for a particular application or to ensure reproducible processing, additional requirements may be given in data block 5 (see clause 3, introductory paragraph). 2 Normative references The following standards contain provisions which, through reference in this text, constitute provisions of this part of ISO 10366. At the time of publication, the editions indicated were valid. All standards are subject to revision, and parties to agreements based on this part of ISO 10366 are encouraged to investigate the possibility of applying the most recent editions of the standards indicated below. Members of IEC and ISO maintain registers of currently valid International Standards. ISO 1043-1:1987, Plastics Symbols Part 1: Basic polymers and their special characteristics.

For unambiguous coding, the individual-item block is subdivided into 5 data blocks comprising the following information: The first character of the individual-item block shall be a hyphen. The data blocks shall be separated from each other by commas. If a data block is not used, this shall be indicated by doubling the separation sign, i.e. by two commas (,). 3.1 Data block 1 In this data block, after the hyphen, methyl methacrylate/acrylonitrile/butadiene/styrene plastics are identified by the symbol “MABS”, in accordance with ISO 1043-1, followed by a hyphen and a single code-letter, giving additional information on the polymer as specified in Table 1. Table 1 Code-letters used for additional information in data block 1 The AN content of the continuous phase shall be determined in accordance with ISO 10366-2:2), Annex A. The MMA content of the compound shall be determined by analysis of the oxygen content. 3.2 Data block 2 In this data block, information about intended application and/or method of processing is given in position 1 and information about important properties, additives and colour in positions 2 to 8. The code-letters used are specified in Table 2. If information is presented in positions 2 to 8 and no specific information is given in position 1, the letter X shall be inserted in position 1. Data block 1: Identification of the plastic by its symbol MABS in accordance with ISO 1043-1 and information about the polymerisation process or composition of the polymer (see 3.1). Data block 2: Position 1: Intended application or method of processing (see 3.2). Positions 2 to 8: Important properties, additives and supplementary information (see 3.2). Data block 3: Designatory properties (see 3.3). Data block 4: Fillers or reinforcing materials and their nominal content (see 3.4). Data block 5: For the purpose of specifications, a fifth data block may be added containing additional information.
