Foreword

ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards bodies (ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical committee has been established has the right to be represented on that committee. International organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization.

International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 3.

The main task of technical committees is to prepare International Standards. Draft International Standards adopted by the technical committees are circulated to the member bodies for voting. Publication as an International Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the member bodies casting a vote.

Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this part of ISO 1268 may be the subject of patent rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.

ISO 1268-1 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 61, Plastics, Subcommittee SC 13, Composites and reinforcement fibres.

Together with the other parts (see below), this part of ISO 1268 cancels and replaces ISO 1268:1974, which has been technically revised.

ISO 1268 consists of the following parts, under the general title Fibre-reinforced plastics — Methods of producing test plates:

— Part 1: General conditions
— Part 2: Contact and spray-up moulding
— Part 3: Wet compression moulding
— Part 4: Moulding of prepregs
— Part 5: Filament winding
— Part 6: Pultrusion moulding
— Part 7: Resin transfer moulding
— Part 8: Compression moulding of SMC and BMC
— Part 9: Moulding of GMT/STC
— Part 10: Injection moulding of SMC and other long-fibre moulding compounds — General principles and moulding of multipurpose test specimens
— Part 11: Injection moulding of SMC and other long-fibre moulding compounds — Small plates
