ISO 2580-2:2003(E)
Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards bodies
(ISO member bodies). 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.
International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2.
The main task of technical committees is to prepare International Standards. 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.
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent
rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
ISO 2580-2 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 61, Plastics, Subcommittee SC 9, Thermoplastic
materials.
This third edition cancels and replaces the second edition (ISO 2580-2:1994), which has been technically
revised.
ISO 2580 consists of the following parts, under the general title Plastics — Acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene
(ABS) moulding and extrusion materials:
 Part 1: Designation system and basis for specifications
 Part 2: Preparation of test specimens and determination of properties

INTERNATIONAL STANDARD ISO 2580-2:2003(E)

Plastics — Acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene (ABS) moulding and
extrusion materials —
Part 2:
Preparation of test specimens and determination of properties
1 Scope
1.1 This part of ISO 2580 specifies the methods of preparation of test specimens and the test methods to
be used in determining the properties of ABS moulding and extrusion materials. Requirements for handling
test material and for conditioning both the test material before moulding and the specimens before testing are
given here.
1.2 Procedures and conditions for the preparation of test specimens and procedures for measuring
properties of the materials from which these specimens are made are given. Properties and test methods
which are suitable and necessary to characterize ABS moulding and extrusion materials are listed.
1.3 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 ISO 2580, as are the designatory properties specified in Part 1.
1.4 In order to obtain reproducible and comparable test results, it is necessary to use the methods of
specimen preparation and conditioning, the specimen dimensions and the test procedures specified herein.
Values determined will not necessarily be identical to those obtained using specimens of different dimensions
or prepared using different procedures.
2 Conformance
In Clause 3, the year of publication of each normative reference has been specifically stated. In order to be
able to claim conformity with this part of ISO 2580, it is essential that the user use only those editions given,
and not earlier or more recent editions.
3 Normative references
The following referenced documents are indispensable for the application of this document. For dated
references, only the edition cited applies. For undated references, the latest edition of the referenced
document (including any amendments) applies.
