BS 2782-0:2004 - Page 2

This British Standard, a part of the BS 2782 series, provides a general introduction to the methods of test for plastics some of which are presented in the other Parts of the series. Annex A lists the individual methods and Annex B describes an obsolescent method (508A), formerly given in BS 2782:1970 and still referred to by the Building Regulations.

BS 2782-0:2004, together with ISO test methods provide a rationalized collection of methods for testing plastics materials and includes tests that are applied to moulding and extrusion compounds, synthetic resins, reinforced plastics, semi fabricated products such as sheet, film, rod and tube, and finished articles in the form of mouldings and extrusions.
