Overview
SIST EN ISO 11833-2:2006 is a European adoption of the international standard ISO 11833-2:1998, specifying requirements for unplasticized poly(vinyl chloride) (PVC-U) sheets with a thickness less than 1 mm. This standard, prepared by ISO/TC 61 "Plastics" and adopted by CEN/TC 249 "Plastics," defines the types, dimensions, characteristics, and test methods for these thin PVC-U sheets. It ensures consistent quality, performance, and interchangeability in industrial, commercial, and user applications throughout Europe and internationally.
This standard excludes thermoshrinkable or biaxially stretched PVC-U films and focuses solely on unplasticized PVC sheets below 1 mm thickness. PVC-U sheets covered by this standard are widely used in various industries due to their strength, chemical resistance, and durability.
Key Topics
Material Composition
Sheets must be fabricated from unplasticized PVC compounds as defined in ISO 1163-1, containing additives like stabilizers, lubricants, impact modifiers, flame retardants, and colorants. Compounds of unknown composition are not permitted.Classification
Sheets are classified into four groups based on tensile impact strength and Vicat softening temperature values, crucial for determining mechanical performance.Dimensions and Tolerances
- Length and width tolerances depend on the sheet form (flat or rolled).
- Thickness tolerances vary by nominal thickness, ranging from -40% for ultra-thin films below 0.03 mm to -10% for thickness near 1 mm.
- Rectangularity tolerances ensure dimensional accuracy important for downstream processing.
Mechanical Properties
Requirements include:- Tensile stress at yield > 40 MPa
- Nominal strain at break > 20%
- Tensile impact strength from > 300 kJ/m² to > 400 kJ/m² depending on group
- Vicat softening temperature thresholds between 60 °C and 90 °C
Appearance and Color
Sheets must be free from visible defects like cracks, bubbles, and impurities. Color distribution should be uniform, with allowances agreed by stakeholders.Chemical and Physiological Behavior
Specifications for flammability, chemical resistance, and physiological suitability (such as food contact safety) are to be agreed upon case-by-case.Testing Methods
Standardized test methods from ISO series (e.g., ISO 527-3 for tensile properties, ISO 306 for Vicat temperature) ensure reliable assessment of sheet properties and compliance.Marking and Identification
Each sheet package must be marked with standard number, material designation, dimensions, manufacturer details, and production date or batch number for traceability.
Applications
Thin unplasticized PVC sheets conforming to SIST EN ISO 11833-2:2006 are ideal for use in:
- Electrical insulation components
- Protective films and covers
- Packaging and labeling materials
- Signage and display panels
- Construction facings and laminates
- Chemical-resistant linings and coverings
Their controlled mechanical and thermal properties make them suitable for demanding environments where dimensional stability and performance under load are critical.
Related Standards
To fully understand and apply SIST EN ISO 11833-2:2006, the following related standards are essential references:
- ISO 1163-1:1995 – PVC-U molding and extrusion materials specification
- ISO 527-3:1995 – Determination of tensile properties for films and sheets
- ISO 306:1994 – Determination of Vicat softening temperature
- ISO 75-2:1993 – Temperature of deflection under load
- ISO 8256:1990 – Determination of tensile-impact strength
- ISO 11501:1995 – Dimensional change on heating for films and sheeting
- ISO 291:1997 – Standard atmospheres for conditioning and testing
- ISO 2859-1 – Sampling procedures for inspection by attributes
By referencing these complementary standards, stakeholders ensure comprehensive quality control and performance assessment of thin PVC-U sheets for industrial and commercial usage.

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.
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.
International Standard ISO 11833-2 was prepared by Technical Committee
ISO/TC 61, Plastics, Subcommittee SC 11, Products.
