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 14910-2 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 61, Plastics, Subcommittee SC 9,
Thermoplastic materials.
This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition (ISO 14910-2:1997), which has been
technically revised.
ISO 14910 consists of the following parts, under the general title Plastics — Thermoplastic polyester/ester
and polyether/ester elastomers for moulding and extrusion:
— Part 1: Designation system and basis for specification
— Part 2: Preparation of test specimens and determination of properties

Introduction
The structure of thermoplastic-elastomer material standards is based on the following considerations.
For each type of thermoplastic elastomer, reference is made to the relevant material standard.
Thermoplastic-elastomer materials are classified into three classes according to the primary
elastomeric property, hardness, as shown in Figure 1 below. This classification on the basis of hardness
reflects the special position of thermoplastic elastomers between rubber materials on the one hand
and plastics on the other.
Each class is subdivided into standard properties and special properties. The classes have many standard
properties and many special properties in common. Furthermore, a standard property in one class can
be a special property in another class and vice versa.
Special properties are those properties which are in wide use or of particular significance in the practical
characterization of a specific material.

INTERNATIONAL STANDARD ISO 14910-2:2013(E)
Plastics — Thermoplastic polyester/ester and polyether/
ester elastomers for moulding and extrusion —
Part 2:
Preparation of test specimens and determination of
properties
1 Scope
This part of ISO 14910 specifies the methods of preparation of test specimens and the standard test
methods to be used in determining the properties of thermoplastic polyester/ester and polyether/ester
moulding and extrusion materials. Requirements for handling test material and/or for conditioning
both the test material before moulding and the specimens before testing are given.
Procedures and conditions for the preparation of test specimens in a specified state 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 thermoplastic polyester/ester and
polyether/ester moulding and extrusion materials are listed.
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 part of ISO 14910, as are the designatory properties specified in ISO 14910-1 (hardness, melting
temperature and tensile modulus).
In order to obtain reproducible and comparable test results, it is necessary to use the methods of
preparation and conditioning, the specimen dimensions and the test procedures specified in this part
of ISO 14910. Values determined will not necessarily be identical to those obtained using specimens of
different dimensions or prepared using different procedures.
NOTE This part of ISO 14910 has been developed on the basis of ISO 10350-1 as, at the moment, no standard
exists for the acquisition and presentation of comparable single-point data for thermoplastic elastomers.
After publication of this part of ISO 14910 and the analogous document for polyurethanes (ISO 16365-2), it is
the intention to develop ISO 10350-3 for the acquisition and presentation of comparable single-point data for
thermoplastic elastomers, based on this part of ISO 14910 and ISO 16365-2, as the basis for the development of
thermoplastic-elastomer material standards.
