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 Commis-
sion (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization.
International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 3.
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 part of ISO 15103 may be the subject of patent
rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
International Standard ISO 15103-1 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 61, Plastics, Subcommittee
SC 9, Thermoplastic materials.
ISO 15103 consists of the following parts, under the general title Plastics — Poly(phenylene ether) (PPE) 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 15103-1:2000(E)
Plastics — Poly(phenylene ether) (PPE) moulding and extrusion
materials —
Part 1:
Designation system and basis for specifications
1 Scope
1.1 This part of ISO 15103 establishes a system of designation for PPE thermoplastic materials, which may be
used as the basis for specifications.
1.2 The types of PPE plastic are differentiated from each other by a classification system based on appropriate lev-
els of the designatory properties
a) temperature of deflection under load
b) Charpy notched impact strength
c) flammability
and on information about basic polymer parameters, intended application and/or method of processing, important
properties, additives, colorants, fillers and reinforcing materials.
1.3 This part of ISO 15103 is applicable to all PPE materials, including those modified with polystyrene or poly-
amide or other materials.
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 15103 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 3.1).
