Full title and description
Fibre‑reinforced plastics — Methods of producing test plates — Part 10: Injection moulding of BMC and other long‑fibre moulding compounds — General principles and moulding of multipurpose test specimens. This part of ISO 1268 gives general principles and recommended mould designs for producing multipurpose test specimens by injection moulding of bulk moulding compound (BMC) and other long‑fibre moulding compounds; where appropriate it can also be applied to SMC formulated for injection moulding.
Abstract
Specifies the general principles to follow when injection moulding test specimens of BMC and other long‑fibre moulding compounds, and gives details of a mould design for preparing a type of multipurpose specimen intended to promote reproducible moulding conditions. The document aims to standardize the way main moulding parameters are described and reported; exact reproducible conditions depend on the particular material and are given in the relevant material standard or agreed between parties.

Scope
Defines the general principles and recommended moulding practices for injection moulding of BMC and other long‑fibre moulding compounds to prepare multipurpose test specimens. The part describes mould design features, the main processing parameters to be recorded, and guidance on achieving reproducible test‑plate and specimen preparation. It may be applied, where appropriate, to SMC formulations adapted for injection moulding; specific moulding parameters for a given material shall follow the relevant material standard or be agreed between interested parties.
Key topics and requirements
- General principles for injection moulding of BMC and other long‑fibre moulding compounds (process control and reproducibility).
- Recommended mould designs for producing multipurpose test specimens (dimensions and cavity arrangements).
- Definition and reporting of main moulding parameters (e.g., material feed, mould temperature, injection conditions, pressure and cooling regimes) to ensure comparable test results.
- Guidance on applying the part to SMC when formulated for injection moulding and on agreeing material‑specific conditions between parties.
- Emphasis on reproducibility: final moulding conditions for comparable results depend on the particular material and should be specified in the material's standard or by agreement.
Typical use and users
Used by materials and process engineers, test laboratories, quality and R&D teams in industries working with thermoset long‑fibre moulding compounds (BMC/SMC), mould designers, and standards bodies. Typical applications include preparation of standard test specimens for mechanical, thermal and dimensional testing and for establishing reproducible production and laboratory moulding conditions.
