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.
The procedures used to develop this document and those intended for its further maintenance are
described in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 1. In particular, the different approval criteria needed for the
different types of ISO documents should be noted. This document was drafted in accordance with the
editorial rules of the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2 (see www .iso .org/ directives).
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. Details of
any patent rights identified during the development of the document will be in the Introduction and/or
on the ISO list of patent declarations received (see www .iso .org/ patents).
Any trade name used in this document is information given for the convenience of users and does not
constitute an endorsement.
For an explanation of the voluntary nature of standards, the meaning of ISO specific terms and
expressions related to conformity assessment, as well as information about ISO's adherence to the
World Trade Organization (WTO) principles in the Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT) see www .iso .org/

This document was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 61, Plastics, Subcommittee SC 9,
Thermoplastic materials, in collaboration with the European Committee for Standardization (CEN)
Technical Committee CEN/TC 249, Plastics, in accordance with the Agreement on technical cooperation
between ISO and CEN (Vienna Agreement).
This first edition of ISO 24026-2 cancels and replaces ISO 8257-2:2001, which has been technically
revised.
The main changes compared to the previous edition are as follows:
— the normative references have been updated;
— Clause 3 has been added;
— the contents of Table 3 and Table 4 have been updated.
A list of all parts in the ISO 24026 series can be found on the ISO website.
Any feedback or questions on this document should be directed to the user’s national standards body. A

INTERNATIONAL STANDARD ISO 24026-2:2020(E)
Plastics — Poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) moulding
and extrusion materials —
Part 2:
Preparation of test specimens and determination of
properties
1 Scope
1.1 This document specifies the methods of preparation of test specimens and the test methods to
be used in determining the properties of poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) moulding and extrusion
materials. It gives the requirements for handling test material and for conditioning both the test material
before moulding and the specimens before testing.
1.2 This document specifies procedures and conditions for the preparation of test specimens and
procedures for measuring properties of the materials from which these specimens are made. It lists
properties and test methods which are suitable and necessary to characterize poly(methyl methacrylate)
moulding and extrusion materials.
1.3 The properties have been selected from the general test methods in ISO 10350-1. Other test
methods in wide use for, or of particular significance to, these moulding and extrusion materials are also
included in this document, as are the designatory properties specified in ISO 24026-1.
