Full title and description
ISO 1060-2:1998 — Plastics — Homopolymer and copolymer resins of vinyl chloride — Part 2: Preparation of test samples and determination of properties. This part specifies procedures for preparing test specimens from PVC homopolymer and copolymer resins and for the determination and reporting of relevant material properties used for characterization and quality control.
Abstract
Defines methods for handling PVC resin test material, preparation and conditioning of test samples, and the set of property determinations and associated test procedures appropriate for characterizing homopolymer and copolymer resins of vinyl chloride. The document is procedural and intended to ensure reproducible test results across laboratories.

Scope
This part of ISO 1060 specifies the preparation of test specimens from PVC homopolymers and copolymers, conditioning of the specimens prior to testing, and the procedures used to determine and report physical and other properties required for resin characterization. It lists the properties and test procedures considered suitable and necessary for routine evaluation and interlaboratory comparison. Note: the ISO 1060 series (parts 1 and 2) has since been revised and reorganized; Part 2 (1998) was later replaced by ISO 24024-2 (2021).
Key topics and requirements
- Preparation of test specimens from PVC homopolymer and copolymer resins (moulding/pressing procedures, sample dimensions and handling).
- Conditioning requirements for test samples prior to property determination (ambient conditions, equilibration).
- List and description of property determinations appropriate for resin characterization (scope and normative references to test methods).
- Normative references and annexes linking ISO procedures to regional/adopted versions.
Typical use and users
Used by PVC resin manufacturers, raw-material suppliers, independent testing laboratories, R&D and quality-control departments to ensure consistent specimen preparation and comparable property data. Also referenced by standards committees and by organizations adopting the ISO text as a national or regional standard.

FAQ
Q: What is this standard?
A: ISO 1060-2:1998 is the second part of the ISO 1060 series dealing with homopolymer and copolymer resins of vinyl chloride; it covers preparation of test samples and determination of properties for PVC resins.
Q: What does it cover?
A: It specifies procedures for preparing and conditioning test specimens and lists the property determinations and associated test procedures appropriate for characterizing PVC homopolymer and copolymer resins.
Q: Who typically uses it?
A: Resin producers, QC and R&D laboratories, testing houses, and standards/adoption committees that need consistent specimen preparation and comparable test data for PVC resins.
Q: Is it current or superseded?
A: ISO 1060-2:1998 has been withdrawn and superseded — the replacement is ISO 24024-2:2021 (the ISO metadata lists the 1998 edition as withdrawn and indicates ISO 24024-2:2021 as the new version). Users needing up-to-date requirements should refer to ISO 24024-2:2021.
Q: Is it part of a series?
A: Yes — it is Part 2 of the ISO 1060 series (Part 1 covers designation system and basis for specifications). The series has been reorganized and parts replaced by the ISO 24024 series.
Q: What are the key keywords?
A: PVC, vinyl chloride resins, homopolymer, copolymer, specimen preparation, conditioning, property determination, resin characterization, ISO 1060-2.
