Overview
EN ISO 11403-2:2022 - Plastics: Acquisition and presentation of comparable multipoint data - Part 2: Thermal and processing properties (ISO 11403-2:2022) is a CEN-adopted ISO standard that defines how to generate, structure and present multipoint data for key thermal and processing properties of plastics. The standard ensures that data produced by different laboratories or suppliers are comparable and usable for material selection, processing optimization and data exchange.
Key topics
- Scope of properties covered
- Enthalpy/temperature curve (thermal transitions, crystallinity trends) - test procedure referenced: ISO 11357-3
- Linear-expansion/temperature curve (thermal expansion behaviour) - test procedure referenced: ISO 11359-2
- Melt shear viscosity (flow behaviour under shear during processing) - test procedure referenced: ISO 11443
- Specimen preparation and conditioning
- Requires use of established specimen-moulding and machining methods (e.g., ISO 294-1, ISO 293, ISO 295, ISO 10724-1, ISO 2818) so that multipurpose test specimens are consistent across tests.
- Data acquisition and presentation
- Specifies multipoint test procedures and formats to present temperature- or shear-dependent curves, enabling valid comparison between materials.
- Precision and reporting
- Includes clauses on test precision and recommended reporting elements to support reproducibility and interpretation.
- Complementary guidance
- Annex A lists other properties and references to related standards in the ISO 11403 series and ISO 10350 single‑point data series.
Practical applications
- Material selection: Engineers and designers compare enthalpy and expansion curves to select polymers with appropriate thermal performance (e.g., transition temperatures, degree of crystallinity).
- Process optimization: Rheologists and process engineers use melt shear viscosity profiles to set processing parameters (injection moulding, extrusion) and troubleshoot flow-related defects.
- Quality assurance and supplier data: Material suppliers and testing laboratories provide standardized multipoint datasets that stakeholders can compare reliably.
- Data management and modelling: Enables consistent data formats for databases, CAE inputs and digital material passports where multipoint thermal/processing behaviour is required.
- Research & development: Useful in polymer R&D when assessing the impact of formulations, additives or processing on thermal and rheological behaviour.
Who should use this standard
- Material suppliers, independent testing laboratories, product designers, process engineers, quality managers, and R&D teams involved in polymer selection, moulding, extrusion and simulation.
Related standards
- ISO 11357-3 (DSC: enthalpy/temperature), ISO 11359-2 (dilatometry: linear expansion), ISO 11443 (melt viscosity), ISO 294-1 / ISO 293 / ISO 295 (specimen moulding), ISO 10350 (single-point data series).
By standardizing multipoint data acquisition and presentation, EN ISO 11403-2:2022 improves comparability of thermal and processing properties across suppliers and labs, supporting better material decisions and process control.

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.

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

Introduction
This document has been prepared because users of plastics find sometimes that available data cannot
be used readily to compare the properties of similar materials, especially when the data have been
supplied by different sources. Even when the same standard tests have been used, they often allow
the adoption of a wide range of alternative test conditions, and the data obtained are not necessarily
comparable. The purpose of this document is to identify specific methods and conditions of test to be
used for the acquisition and presentation of data in order that valid comparisons between materials
can be made.
The ISO 10350 series is concerned with single-point data. Such data represent the most basic method
for characterizing materials and are useful for the initial stages of material selection. This document
identifies test conditions and procedures for the measurement and presentation of a more substantial
quantity of data. Each property here is characterized by multipoint data which demonstrate how that
property depends upon important variables such as time, temperature and environmental effects.
Additional properties are also considered in this document. These data, therefore, enable more
discriminating decisions to be made regarding a material’s suitability for a particular application.
Some data are also considered adequate for undertaking predictions of performance in service and of
optimum processing conditions for moulding a component, although it should be recognized that, for
purposes of design, additional data will often be needed. One reason for this is that some properties are
strongly dependent upon the physical structure of the material. The test procedures referred to in this
document employ, where possible, the multipurpose tensile bar, and the polymer structure in this test
specimen may be significantly different from that in specific regions of a moulded component. Under
these circumstances, therefore, the data will not be suitable for accurate design calculations for product
performance. The material supplier should be consulted for specific information on the applicability of
data.
The ISO 10350 series and the ISO 11403 series, together, define the means for acquiring and presenting a
core set of comparable data for use in material selection. Use of these International Standards results in
a rationaliza
