Back-up pads for vulcanized fibre discs
ISO 15636:2003 specifies the design and dimensions of back-up pads intended for the fixing or clamping of vulcanized fibre discs in accordance with ISO 16057, or comparable grinding tools on hand-held grinding machines, e.g. angle grinders. The connecting dimensions of support discs and clamping units are matched for spindle ends with the common practice of this kind of hand-held machine.
Plateaux d'appui pour disques en fibres vulcanisées
L'ISO 15636:2003 spécifie la conception et les dimensions des plateaux d'appui destinés à la fixation ou au serrage de disques en fibres vulcanisées conformes à l'ISO 16057, ou d'outils de meulage pour meules portatives comparables, par exemple meules d'angle. Les dimensions de raccordement des plateaux d'appui et des unités de serrage sont conformes aux terminaisons de broche compte tenu de la pratique commune de ce type de machines portatives.

Overview
ISO 15636:2003 specifies the design and dimensions of back-up pads used for mounting and securing vulcanized fibre discs in handheld grinding machines such as angle grinders. These back-up pads are essential components that ensure proper fixing or clamping of abrasive discs compliant with ISO 16057 or equivalent grinding tools. The standard aligns the connecting dimensions of support discs and clamping units with the spindle ends commonly found in portable grinding equipment, facilitating compatibility and safety during use.
Key Topics
Scope
The standard covers the detailed design, material, and dimensional requirements for back-up pads that support vulcanized fibre abrasive discs on handheld machines.Design and Dimensions
ISO 15636 provides exact measurements for back-up pads and clamping nuts, including diameter, thread size, and thickness, ensuring standardized fits for various disc sizes. These dimensions are specified in millimeters and follow common threading standards such as M10, M14, and 5/8" UNC.Material Requirements
The back-up pad itself must be manufactured from a polymer material chosen at the manufacturer's discretion, while the clamping nut material is not prescriptively defined, allowing flexibility based on use case.Delivery and Identification
The standard requires back-up pads to be delivered with the appropriate clamping nut, and it specifies designation rules for consistent product identification. For example, a pad is marked by its external diameter, thread size, and maximum permitted rotational speed.Marking
Each compliant back-up pad must include the manufacturer's name or mark and the maximum allowed rotational speed, ensuring safe application.
Applications
ISO 15636:2003 applies primarily to industries and professionals engaged in surface grinding, finishing, and other abrasive processes involving hand-held grinding machines. Key areas include:
Metalworking and Fabrication
Supporting abrasive fibre discs on angle grinders for grinding, polishing, or surface preparation on metals.Construction and Maintenance
Usage in portable grinding tools for site repairs, smoothing concrete surfaces, or rust removal.Manufacturing Quality Control
Ensuring compatibility and safety of abrasive tools through standardized back-up pad dimensions and correct mounting, reducing equipment failure risks.

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.
International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2.
The main task of technical committees is to prepare International Standards. 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.
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.
ISO 15636 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 29, Small tools, Subcommittee SC 5, Grinding
wheels and abrasives.

Avant-propos
L'ISO (Organisation internationale de normalisation) est une fédération mondiale d'organismes nationaux de
normalisation (comités membres de l'ISO). L'élaboration des Normes internationales est en général confiée
aux comités techniques de l'ISO. Chaque comité membre intéressé par une étude a le droit de faire partie du
comité technique créé à cet effet. Les organisations internationales, gouvernementales et non
gouvernementales, en liaison avec l'ISO participent également aux travaux. L'ISO collabore étroitement avec
la Commission électrotechnique internationale (CEI) en ce qui concerne la normalisation électrotechnique.
Les Normes internationales sont rédigées conformément aux règles données dans les Directives ISO/CEI,
Partie 2.
La tâche principale des comités techniques est d'élaborer les Normes internationales. Les projets de Normes
internationales adoptés par les comités techniques sont soumis aux comités membres pour vote. Leur
publication comme Normes internationales requiert l'approbation de 75 % au moins des comités membres
votants.
L'attention est appelée sur le fait que certains des éléments du présent document peuvent faire l'objet de
droits de propriété intellectuelle ou de droits analogues. L'ISO ne saurait être tenue pour responsable de ne
pas avoir identifié de tels droits de propriété et averti de leur existence.

abrasifs.
