ISO 17855-2:2016(E) 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 WTO principles in the Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT) see the following URL: Foreword - Supplementary information. The committee responsible for this document is ISO/TC 61, Plastics, Subcommittee SC 9, Thermoplastic materials. This first edition of ISO 17855-2 cancels and replaces ISO 1872-2:2007, which has been technically revised. ISO 17855 consists of the following parts, under the general title Plastics Polyethylene (PE) moulding and extrusion materials: Part 1: Designation system and basis for specifications Part 2: Preparation of test specimens and determination of properties iv ISO 2016 All rights reserved

INTERNATIONAL STANDARD ISO 17855-2:2016(E) Plastics Polyethylene (PE) moulding and extrusion materials Part 2: Preparation of test specimens and determination of properties 1 Scope This part of ISO 17855 specifies the methods of preparation of test specimens and the test methods to be used in determining the properties of polyethylene (PE) 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 also given. Properties and test methods that are suitable and necessary to characterize PE 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 part of ISO 17855, as are the designatory properties specified in ISO 17855-1. In order to obtain reproducible and comparable test results, it is necessary to use the methods of preparation and conditioning, the specimen dimensions and the test procedures specified herein. Values determined will not necessarily be identical to those obtained using specimens of different dimensions or prepared using different procedures. 2 Normative references The following documents, in whole or in part, are normatively referenced in this document and are indispensable for its application.

The procedure to be used for each test method is indicated in Table 3 and Table 4 (M = injection moulding, Q = compression moulding). 3.2 Treatment of the material before moulding No pre-treatment of the material sample is normally necessary before moulding. 3.3 Injection moulding Injection moulding of test specimens is used for PE moulding materials having a melt mass-flow rate (MFR) of 1 g/10 min, determined in accordance with ISO 1133-1 using set of test conditions D (190 C/2,16 kg) specified in ISO 17855-1. Injection-moulded specimens shall be prepared in accordance with ISO 294-1 or ISO 294-3, using the conditions specified in Table 1. It has been found that bar test specimens prepared in accordance with ISO 20753 give better precision than those injection-moulded directly to their final dimensions and so the use of this geometry is preferable. An appropriate hold pressure, consistent with the production of blemish-free mouldings, shall be used.

For thinner specimens ( 2 mm thick) and where specifically prescribed in Table 3 and Table 4, compression moulding shall be used for all materials. Compression-moulded sheets shall be prepared in accordance with ISO 293 using the conditions specified in Table 2. ISO 2016 All rights reserved 3
