What is BS EN 14469-2- Test specimens for colouring materials in PVC-P about? 
BS EN 14469 is a European Standard that evaluates the pigments and extenders present in PVC-P. The aim of the BS EN 14469 series is to provide plastic manufacturers with best industry practices to assess the colour performance and quality of their products.
BS EN 14469-2 specifies a procedure for preparing test samples for the testing of colouring materials in plasticized polyvinyl chloride (PVC-P) materials.
BS EN 14469-2 describes the manner in which basic mixtures as defined in EN 14469-1 and pigments and pigment preparations are to be used to prepare test samples for the testing of particular pigment properties.
BS EN 14469-2 is applicable to inorganic and organic pigments, and also to pigment preparations in powder, paste or granular form.
Who is BS EN 14469-2 - Test specimens for colouring materials in PVC-P for? 
BS EN 14469-2 on the preparation of test specimens for colouring materials in PVC-P applies to: 
- PVC material manufacturers
- Manufacturers and suppliers of additives for plastics
- Plastic product manufacturers
- Plastic industry
- Quality control and testing personnel
Why should you use BS EN 14469-2- Test specimens for colouring materials in PVC-P?
When PVC is heated, it undergoes a series of colour changes, from light to dark. Based on this colour change taking place within a specific time frame, one can judge the extent of degradation of the PVC. Thus, the colouring materials added must be capable of withstanding the exposure to thermal stresses.
BS EN 14469-2 provides you guidance on test apparatus, sampling, preparation of test specimens, premixing, two-roll milling and pressing of test specimens to prepare samples to evaluate the impact of thermal stress and evaluate their quality and performance.
BS EN 14469-2 walks you through the sampling and preparation procedure of the test specimens to get accurate and error-free quality results for the colouring materials for PVC-P.
By complying with BS EN 14469-2, you can prepare the best quality specimens for testing of colouring materials used in PVC-P for error reduction and cost-effectiveness in PVC-P testing applications.
