Overview

The draft international standard prEN ISO 19062-2:2025 provides comprehensive methods for the preparation of test specimens and the determination of properties of acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene (ABS) moulding and extrusion materials. Developed by CEN in cooperation with ISO/TC 61/SC 9, this document standardizes protocols to ensure consistent, reliable, and comparable test results across industries handling ABS plastics.

Specifically, this standard covers the handling, conditioning, and preparation of ABS materials before moulding, along with procedures for conditioning test specimens prior to testing. It also outlines the relevant properties and test methods needed to characterize ABS materials effectively, deriving key methodologies from ISO 10350-1 and other pertinent ISO and IEC standards.

Key Topics

  • Specimen Preparation Methods

    • Injection moulding according to ISO 294 series with precise temperature and velocity guidelines
    • Compression moulding following ISO 293 with defined temperature, pressure, and cooling conditions
  • Material Handling and Conditioning

    • Moisture control prior to moulding to prevent defects
    • Conditioning protocols (e.g., drying times, temperatures) for uniform specimen quality
  • Property Determination

    • Mechanical properties such as tensile, flexural, and impact strength (referencing ISO 527, ISO 178, ISO 179, and ISO 180)
    • Thermal properties including temperature of deflection under load and Vicat softening temperature (ISO 75, ISO 306)
    • Physical properties like water absorption (ISO 62), density (ISO 1183), and melt flow rates (ISO 1133-1)
    • Electrical and burning behavior properties following relevant IEC standards (e.g., IEC 60112, IEC 60695)
  • Consistency and Repeatability

    • Standardized specimen dimensions and test procedures to maximize reproducibility
    • Clarifications that results may vary if alternative specimen sizes or different preparation methods are used

Applications

  • Quality Control in ABS Manufacturing
    Manufacturers of ABS moulding and extrusion materials can implement these standardized testing methods to ensure product consistency and compliance with international quality benchmarks.

  • Material Specification and Certification
    Designers and suppliers can reference this standard to specify accurate ABS material properties, aiding in certification processes and procurement decisions.

  • Research and Development
    R&D teams benefit from reproducible test methods for developing new ABS formulations with tailored mechanical, thermal, or electrical properties.

  • Regulatory Compliance and Safety Testing
    The standard supports regulatory bodies and testing laboratories in assessing ABS materials for compliance with safety and performance regulations globally.

Related Standards

The standard references and aligns closely with several international standards that expand on specific test aspects:

  • ISO 10350-1: Acquisition and presentation of comparable single-point data for moulding materials
  • ISO 19062-1: ABS designation system and basis for specifications
  • ISO 294-1/-3: Injection moulding of thermoplastics test specimens
  • ISO 293: Compression moulding of thermoplastic test specimens
  • ISO 527 series: Determination of tensile properties
  • ISO 75 series: Temperature of deflection under load
  • ISO 179 / ISO 180: Impact properties testing
  • IEC 60112 and IEC 60695: Methods for electrical and fire hazard testing of plastics

Additional related references include standards on density measurement (ISO 1183), moisture conditioning (ISO 62), and thermal characterization by differential scanning calorimetry (ISO 11357-2).


Implementing prEN ISO 19062-2:2025 ensuring uniform test specimen preparation and property determination presents a critical foundation for accurate characterization and optimized use of ABS plastics in manufacturing and application engineering. This standard promotes global harmonization, quality assurance, and innovation in the plastics industry.
