BS EN 15702:2008

What is BS EN 15702 – Test methods for cellular plastics about?

BS EN 15702 is an International Standard that focuses on cellular plastics. It gives cell count procedures for flexible and rigid polyurethane.

BS EN 15702 specifies a method for determining the cell count of flexible and rigid cellular polyurethane.

BS EN 15702 covers test specimens, shape and dimensions, procedure, precision to specify the cell count procedure for flexible and rigid polyurethane

Who is BS EN 15702 - Test methods for cellular plastics for?

BS EN 15702 on cellular plastics is useful for:

• Manufacturers and suppliers of cellular plastics
• Plastic manufacturing & processing companies
• Dealers and suppliers for high impact cellular plastics
• Testing laboratories/ test providers for cellular plastics

Why should you use BS EN 15702 - Test methods for cellular plastics?

BS EN 15702 gives you a test method for determining the compressive strength and corresponding relative deformation that provides information about the behaviour of cellular materials under compressive loads by which you can easily collect deformation data of the cellular plastics. 

BS EN 15702 makes it possible to compute the compressive stress at any load and to compute the effective modulus of elasticity for its buyers by using given test methods, that help you to manufacture the high class, reliable and efficient plastics products.

What’s changed since the last update?

BS EN 15702:2008 supersedes BS 4443-1:1988 which has been withdrawn. BS EN 15702:2008 has been editorially revised.
