ISO 11358-2 is an international standard that specifies the requirements for the thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) of plastics. The standard is published by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) and is widely recognized as a benchmark for the testing of plastic materials.

Legal and Regulatory Framework

The legal and regulatory framework surrounding ISO 11358-2 Plastics TGA Decomposition Profiles testing is governed by various international, national, and industry-specific standards. These include:

  • ISO 11358-2:2016 (Thermogravimetric analysis of plastics)
  • ASTM E1641 (Standard Practice for Thermogravimetry in Air)
  • EN 13173 (Plastics Determination of the thermogravimetric analysis)
  • TSE 1117 (Turkish Standard for Plastics Thermogravimetric Analysis)
  • International and National Standards

    The international standard ISO 11358-2 is widely adopted by countries around the world. However, some countries have developed their own national standards that are based on or aligned with the international standard.

    For example:

  • In Europe, the EN 13173 standard is used for thermogravimetric analysis of plastics.
  • In Turkey, the TSE 1117 standard is used for thermogravimetric analysis of plastics.
  • In the United States, the ASTM E1641 standard is used for thermogravimetric analysis in air.
  • Standard Development Organizations

    The development and maintenance of standards are governed by various organizations. These include:

  • International Organization for Standardization (ISO)
  • American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM)
  • European Committee for Standardization (CEN)
  • Turkish Standards Institution (TSE)
  • These organizations work together to develop and maintain international, national, and industry-specific standards.

    Standard Evolution and Updates

    Standards are regularly reviewed and updated to reflect changes in technology, science, and regulations. The evolution of standards is an ongoing process that involves:

  • Review of existing standards
  • Identification of areas for improvement or update
  • Development of new standards or updates to existing ones
  • Adoption and implementation by countries and industries
  • Standard Numbers and Scope

    The following are some examples of standard numbers and their scope:

  • Sample preparation
  • Testing temperature range (25C to 600C)
  • Heating rate (10C/min to 50C/min)
  • Data collection interval (1 s to 60 s)
  • Data Collection and Analysis

    The data collected during thermogravimetric analysis must be analyzed using specific software or techniques. This includes:

  • Weight loss versus temperature plots
  • Derivative weight loss versus temperature plots
  • Calculation of thermal stability parameters
  • Testing Service Provided by Eurolab
