ISO 10350-2-2020 PDF

Full title and description

ISO 10350-2:2020 — Plastics — Acquisition and presentation of comparable single-point data — Part 2: Long‑fibre‑reinforced plastics. This PDF edition (third edition, 2020) defines standardised procedures for obtaining and presenting single‑point (manufacturer‑style) property values for long‑fibre and continuous‑fibre reinforced thermoplastic and thermosetting materials, enabling consistent data sheets and material comparisons.

Abstract

ISO 10350-2 specifies test procedures and presentation rules for a set of basic, single‑value properties of long‑fibre‑reinforced plastics. In general, each property is recorded as a single experimental value (in some cases two values for different directions/conditions). The document covers reinforced thermoplastics and thermosets with reinforcement fibres longer than 7.5 mm before processing or continuous reinforcements (e.g., fabrics, continuous‑strand mats, unidirectional reinforcements).

Scope

This part of ISO 10350 applies to reinforced thermoplastic and thermosetting materials where reinforcement fibres are either discontinuous with a fibre length prior to processing greater than 7.5 mm, or continuous (for example fabric, continuous‑strand mat or unidirectional reinforcements). It complements ISO 10350‑1, which addresses unreinforced and filled plastics and materials with short fibres. The standard sets out specimen preparation/conditioning, required test methods and rules for presenting the single‑point results.

Key topics and requirements

• Definition of the set of single‑point properties to report (the properties commonly shown on manufacturer data sheets).
• Specimen preparation, orientation and conditioning rules for long‑fibre and continuous‑fibre reinforced materials.
• Specified test requirements (types of tests and directions) and handling of directional data.
• Presentation and formatting rules for comparable single‑point results (how to report the data, units, test conditions and any qualifiers).
• Normative references and terms/definitions to ensure consistency with related composite test methods.

(Content structure follows the standard’s clauses: scope, normative references, terms, specimen preparation/conditioning, test requirements, and presentation of results.)

Typical use and users

Primary users include plastics and composite material manufacturers, compounders, test laboratories, material data managers, OEM engineers and specifiers who prepare or rely on material data sheets and databases. The standard is commonly used to create consistent, comparable single‑point entries in material databases (e.g., CAMPUS) and in supplier product literature.

Related standards

Key related standards and documents include ISO 10350‑1 (single‑point data for moulding materials / unreinforced or short‑fibre materials), the ISO 11403 series (acquisition and presentation of multipoint data / diagrams and curves), and various fibre/composite test standards referenced for specific test methods (for example, standard composite test methods used to derive single‑point values). The 2020 edition of Part 2 has also been adopted as EN ISO 10350‑2:2020 in European standards bodies.

FAQ

Q: What is this standard?

A: ISO 10350‑2:2020 is an international standard that specifies how to acquire and present comparable single‑point property data for long‑fibre and continuous‑fibre reinforced plastics, intended for use in material data sheets and databases.

Q: What does it cover?

A: It covers specimen preparation and conditioning, test requirements and rules for presenting single‑value properties (including handling directional values) for long‑fibre‑reinforced thermoplastics and thermosets. It does not replace detailed multipoint test standards; rather it standardises single‑point reporting.

Q: Who typically uses it?

A: Material manufacturers, compounders, test laboratories, OEM engineers, material data specialists and anyone producing or using supplier material data sheets and databases for reinforced plastics.

Q: Is it current or superseded?

A: ISO 10350‑2:2020 (third edition, published July 2020) supersedes earlier editions (2011 and 2001). As of 15 February 2026 the 2020 edition is the current published edition. ISO standards are subject to periodic review (typically every 5 years).

Q: Is it part of a series?

A: Yes — ISO 10350 is a series for single‑point data. Part 1 addresses moulding materials / unreinforced and short‑fibre materials, Part 2 covers long‑fibre and continuous‑fibre reinforced plastics; other related ISO series include ISO 11403 for multipoint (curve) data.

Q: What are the key keywords?

A: Long‑fibre reinforced plastics, single‑point data, material data sheet, specimen conditioning, presentation of results, ISO 10350, composites.
