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 . i so .org/ iso/ foreword .html.
This document was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 61, Plastics, Subcommittee SC 9,
Thermoplastic materials.
This first edition of ISO 16396-2 cancels and replaces ISO 1874-2:2012, which has been technically
revised.

Plastics — Polyamide (PA) moulding and extrusion
materials —
Part 2:
Preparation of test specimens and determination of
properties
1 Scope
This document specifies the methods of preparation of test specimens and the test methods to be
used in determining the properties of polyamide moulding and extrusion materials. Requirements for
handling test material and for conditioning both the test material before moulding and the specimens
before testing are given.
Procedures and conditions for the preparation of test specimens and procedures for measuring
properties of the materials from which these specimens are made are given. Properties and test
methods that are suitable and necessary to characterize polyamide 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 document, as are the designatory properties viscosity number and tensile modulus of elasticity
given in ISO 16396-1.
