Foreword
IS0 (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide fed-
eration of national standards bodies (IS0 member bodies). The work of
preparing International Standards is normally carried out through IS0
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. IS0
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 IS0 1043-I was prepared by Technical Committee
ISO/TC 61, Plastics, Subcommittee SC 1, Terminology.
This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition
1043-I :I 987), which has been technically revised.
(IS0
IS0 1043 consists of the following parts, under the general title Plastics -
Symbols and abbreviated terms:
- Part 7: Basic polymers and their special characteristics
- Part 2: Fillers and reinforcing materials
- Part 3: Plasticizers
- Part 4: Flame retardants

Plastics - Symbols and abbreviated terms -
Part 1:
Basic polymers and their special characteristics
1 Scope
This part of IS0 1043 gives uniform abbreviated terms for plastics, and symbols for components of these terms. It
includes only those abbreviated terms that have come into established use and its aim is both to prevent the occurrence
of more than one abbreviated term for a given plastics terms and to prevent a given abbreviated term being interpreted in
more than one way.
NOTES
For symbols for fillers and reinforcing materials, see IS0 1043-2, for plasticizers see IS0 1043-3 and for flame retardants
1
see IS0 1043-4. Nomenclature for rubber and latices is given in IS0 1629:1995, Rubber and lathes - Nomenclature.
2 Guidance for the preparation of new abbreviated terms is given in annex A, and reference lists of symbols for the
components of polymers used to form abbreviated terms are given in annex B.
2 Normative reference
The following standard contains provisions which, through reference in this text, constitute provisions of this part
of IS0 1043. At the time of publication, the edition indicated was valid. All standards are subject to revision, and
parties to agreements based on this part of IS0 1043 are encouraged to investigate the possibility of applying the
most recent edition of the standard indicated below. Members of IEC and IS0 maintain registers of currently valid
International Standards.

3 Use of the symbols and the abbreviated terms
3.1 Abbreviated terms for homopolymeric, copolymeric and natural polymeric materials are given in clause 4, and
symbols for special characteristics are given in clause 5. Examples of the use of symbols and abbreviated terms
are given in clause 6.

3.2 To distinguish the essential molecular characteristics within a given generic type of plastic material, additional
symbols, with guidance for their use, are provided. The use of symbols for describing properties that can only be
ascertained subjectively should be avoided since this can lead to confusion.
3.3 The abbreviated terms are primarily intended to be a convenient shorthand for chemical names in publications
and other written matter. They are not intended for the selection of materials. The abbreviated terms also are
useful for indicating the type of basic polymer in materials and products, e.g. ABS moulding material, PA film, PE
sheeting, PVC pipe.
3.4 Only capital letters shall be used for symbols and abbreviated terms.
3.5 The first appearance of an abbreviated term in a text shall be enclosed in parentheses and shall be preceded
by the term written in full.
3.6 The rules of the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry (IUPAC) for source-based names of
polymers specify that, when “poly” is followed by more than one word, enclosing marks are used. This practice is
followed in this part of IS0 1043, but in common usage the enclosing marks are often omitted.
3.7 No attempt is made formally to systematize a shorthand terminology of polymers. Terminology and formulae
designations for scientific literature in the field of natural and synthetic polymers are elaborated by the Commission
on Macromolecular Nomenclature of IUPAC. The abbreviated terms published by this commission are the same as
in this part of IS0 1043, as far as frequently used polymers are concerned.
