British and international standard chemical test methods

8 British and international standard chemical test methods 

Standard test methods that have been trialled, tested and approved by independent committees are the main methods accepted by government purchasing departments, manufacturers and quality assurance systems. Many traditional British Standards have been incorporated into International Standards (ISO) and European Norme (BS EN) standards for use throughout the world. The following list contains some of the important test methods for the chemical analysis of rubbers, plastics and other elastomers used in coated fabrics. 

Most tests form part of British Standard 7164 (British Standards Institution, 1996 ISO, 1996). 

BS 7164-2 (= ISO 4661-2) Part 2 concerns sample preparation (see Section 7.4 above) 

BS 7164-6.1 Part 6 Methods for the determination of volatile matter in rubber BS 7164-7.1 (=1805945) Part 7 Methods for the determination of polyisoprene content
