DESCRIPTION

1.1 This classification system covers thermoplastic materials, used as joining materials, for the creation of joints between similar or dissimilar materials, to produce finished products or parts that are intended to be disassembled and/or reassembled.

1.2 This class of materials enables disconnection of the different parts or layers of a products for refurbishing, repair and full recovery and recycling of the joined materials, for instance at the end of life of the product(s), enabling the reuse of valuable resources, and hence reducing adverse impact on the environment.

1.3 The properties included in this classification system are those required to identify the materials covered. It is possible that there are other requirements necessary to identify particular characteristics important to specialized applications. One way of specifying them is by using the suffixes as given in Section 5.

1.4 This classification system and subsequent line callout (specification) are intended to provide a means of calling out plastic materials used in the fabrication of end items or parts. It is not intended for the selection of materials. Material selection is best made by those having expertise in the plastic field after careful consideration of the design and the performance required of the part, the environment to which it will be exposed, the fabrication process to be employed, the costs involved, and the inherent properties of the material other than those covered by this classification system.

1.5 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as standard. No other units of measurement are included in this standard.

1.6 The following precautionary caveat pertains only to the test methods portion, Section 11, of this classification system. This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety, health, and environmental practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.

Note 1: Application examples are fully recyclable mattresses and floor coverings. These products can be disassembled into its different parts, by using heat, for refurbishing, repair and full recovery and recycling of the joined materials at the end of the product’s life.

1.7 This international standard was developed in accordance with internationally recognized principles on standardization established in the Decision on Principles for the Development of International Standards, Guides and Recommendations issued by the World Trade Organization Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT) Committee.
