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 on 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 the following URL: www.iso.org/iso/foreword.html.
The committee responsible for this document is ISO/TC 61, Plastics, Subcommittee SC 1, Terminology.
This third edition cancels and replaces the second edition (ISO 1043-3:1996), which has been technically
revised with the following changes:
— alternative CAS Registry Numbers have been added for some “octyl” plasticizers;
— a symbol for soya bean has been included in Annex A.
ISO 1043 consists of the following parts, under the general title Plastics — Symbols and abbreviated terms:
— Part 1: Basic polymers and their special characteristics
— Part 2: Fillers and reinforcing materials
— Part 3: Plasticizers
— Part 4: Flame retardants

INTERNATIONAL STANDARD ISO 1043-3:2016(E)
Plastics — Symbols and abbreviated terms —
Part 3:
Plasticizers
1 Scope
This part of ISO 1043 provides uniform symbols for components of terms relating to plasticizers to
form abbreviated terms. It includes, in general, only those abbreviated terms that have come into
established use.
The purpose of this part of ISO 1043 is to prevent the occurrence of more than one abbreviated term
for a given plasticizer. The symbols are primarily intended to be convenient shorthand for forming
abbreviated terms for chemical names in publications and other written matter.
2 Normative references
The following documents, in whole or in part, are normatively referenced in this document and are
indispensable for its application. For dated references, only the edition cited applies. For undated
references, the latest edition of the referenced document (including any amendments) applies.
ISO 472, Plastics — Vocabulary
ISO 1043-1, Plastics — Symbols and abbreviated terms — Part 1: Basic polymers and their special
characteristics
3 Terms and definitions
For the purposes of this document, the terms and definitions given in ISO 472 and ISO 1043-1 apply.
4 Use of the symbols and abbreviated terms
4.1 The first appearance of an abbreviated term in a text shall be enclosed in parentheses and shall be
preceded by the chemical name written in full.
4.2 Only capital letters shall be used for the symbols.
4.3 The list comprises the abbreviated term, the commonly used name or names and the International
Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry (IUPAC) equivalent and the Chemical Abstracts Service Registry
Number (CAS-RN) where these are available. In cases where IUPAC nomenclature or the CAS-RN is not
available due to uncertainty or ambiguity, this is indicated in the text.
The commonly used chemical name or the IUPAC name given in this part of ISO 1043 shall be referred
to when defining each abbreviated term.
It should be recognized that, in use in the rubber and plastics industries, many plasticizers are
“commercial” or “technical” grades and not necessarily pure forms of substances.
4.4 A list of symbols for individual components of abbreviated terms is given in Annex A.
ISO 1043-3:2016(E)
4.5 Mixtures of plasticizers are not considered in this part of ISO 1043.
4.6 Unless otherwise indicated, the alkyl groups are n-alkyl groups and phthalates are esters of
o-phthalic acid.
4.7 No symbol is used in the abbreviated terms to indicate normal (n-) linear alcohols. For branched
(iso) alcohols, the additional symbol I is used, with one exception: in view of worldwide usage of the
symbol O for 2-ethylhexyl (for example, in DOA and DOP), this practice is observed in this part of
ISO 1043 and the n-octyl group is designated NO (as in DNOP). Because of this dual usage, the application
of the rule specified in 4.1 is most important.
4.8 The symbol I designates iso-branched groups (for example, DIOP). However, DTDP is sometimes
used instead of DITDP because di-n-tridecyl phthalate is not used as a plasticizer; when DTDP is used,
the application of the rule specified in 4.1 is most important.
4.9 For plasticizers based on di-esters of the same alcohol, the first symbol of the abbreviated term is D.
4.10 The letter P may be used in place of F for “phosphate” in abbreviated terms for plasticizers.
4.11 Several plasticizers having “iso” names indicating branched groups might consist of several
isomers. For this reason, no single IUPAC name can describe the detailed chemical composition of each of
these plasticizers.
4.12 Some plasticizers consisting of esters of more than one alcohol are known by a combined number
and letter code, e.g. 711A is an alternative common name for heptyl nonyl undecyl adipate (HNUA). The
first digit represents the number of carbon atoms in the shortest alkyl group and the second and third
digits represent that of the longest alkyl group in the plasticizer; thus 7 denotes heptyl and 11 denotes
undecyl. The letter at the end of the code is either A, which denotes adipate, or P, which denotes
phthalate.
