Revision 1 1993-12-01

Preface:ISO (International Organisation for Standardisation) is a worldwide group consisting of the

standardisation institutions of various nations (ISO member institutions). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through ISO technical committees. Each member institution interested in a subject covered by a technical committee has the right to be represented on that committee. Official and non-official international organisations related to ISO may join it. ISO works closely with the International Electro-technical Commission (IEC) on all matters pertaining to electro-technical standardisation.

Draft international Standards, adopted by the technical committees, are circulated to the member bodies for voting. Promulgation of international Standards requires approval by at least 75% of the member bodies casting a vote.

ISO472: 1988 International Standard Revision 1 was prepared by the ISO/TC61 Technical Committee and the Department of Plastics Subcommittee SCI.

ISO 472 Professional Terms for Carbon FibreRevision 5 1996-03-01

Professional terms for carbon fibreProfessional terms and definitionsCarbon Fibre

Fibre with a carbon content of at least 90% can be produced by the thermo-decomposition of organic fibre.Comment -- Carbon fibre can be classified into established categories according to its physical properties, especially tensile strength and absolute value, as follows:

13

GB xxxx-200x

-- General fibre: fibre usually used as filling in plastics. It can increase electrical performance, static electricity, electromagnetic performance, heat conductivity or performance. This fibre possesses a low stretch characteristic.High ductility fibre: the tensile strength of the fibre exceeds 2500MPa. The tensile absolute value is between 200GPa and 280GPa. This type of fibre can be called “high intensity”, “high strain” or “standard class”. Mid absolute value fibre: the tensile absolute value of the fibre is between 280GPa and 350GPa. There are some high ductility fibres among this kind of fibre with a tensile absolute value reaching 5000MPa or above.High absolute value fibre: the tensile absolute value of the fibre is between 350GPa and 600GPa.Super high absolute value fibre: the tensile absolute value of the fibre reaches 600MPa or above. Carbon Fibre Matrix

Organic cellulose can be converted into carbon fibre through thermo-decomposition.Comment -- The matrix is often connected in the form of fibre threads and can be interconnected into a network and annex tissue.Weaving, Twisting and Splicing

See basic disc-like carbon cellulose, basic corkscrewing carbon cellulose and basic inoglia carbon fibre.Carbonisation Process:

The carbon is converted into carbon fibre through heat treatment in an atmosphere of inert gas.Broken Fibres

Short fibres are cut from the thread and cannot be connected together in any way.Comment--The broken fibre can be of mixed sizing through injection moulding.De-starched Fibre

The fibre starch can be eliminated by extracting the appropriate solution or by thermo-decomposition.Splicing

The same structural characteristics are achieved throughout most or all of the fibres.Graphitisation

The heat treatment temperature, in an atmosphere of inert gas, is higher than that of the carbonisation process.Comment--This process is thought by industry to perform a graphitisation reaction making the carbon fibre change its physical and chemical properties, although the graphite structure can seldom be seen in practice.Oxidation

To perform heat treatment and oxidation on polyacrylonitrile, pitch or adhesive fibre in air, as an adjustment prior to subsequent carbonisation and graphitisation processes.Polyacrylonitrile Carbon Fibre

Carbon fibre made from polyacrylonitrile.Comment--The tensile strength and elasticity can be altered through adjusting conditions during the carbonisation process.A Range of Absolute Values

Carbon fibre made from pitch.It is made from isotropy or anisotropy pitch.

14

GB xxxx-200x

Comment--Carbon fibre made from the anisotropy pitch possesses a high elastic absolute value; carbon fibre made from isotropy pitch possesses a low elastic absolute value.Fibre Thread

The thread spun from fibres and woven together.Surface Treatment

The surface treatment applied to the fibre so as to improve the adhesiveness of the mixed components of the fibre and resin.Comment—This involves heat treatment that causes oxidation on the fibre surface, under controlled conditions.Fibrous Bands

Large amounts of single fibres that are concentrated together into a band of loose thread or concentrated into a band of tight thread, without weaving.Untreated Fibre

Fibre that has not undergone any surface treatment. Viscose Carbon Fibre

Carbon fibre made from viscose fibre.Comment--Carbon fibre products made from adhesives actually have small sized products removed from the adhesive cloth.Net

The published revision edition or review edition cannot be used as the dated reference Standard. However, on the basis of coherence for all parties using this Standard, it is suggested that the latest edition of the following Standard be used. The latest edition shall be used as the undated reference Standard. ISO and IEC shall retain the current effective International Standard. ISO 472 Plastics VocabularyISO 1043-1 Plastics Symbols & Abbreviated Terms Part 1: Basic polymers & their special characteristicsISO 1043-2 Plastics Symbols & Abbreviated Terms Part 2: Fillers and reinforcing materialsISO 1043-3 Plastics Symbols & Abbreviated Terms Part 3: PlasticizersISO 1043-4 Plastics Symbols & Abbreviated Terms Part 4: Flame retardantsISO 1087: 1990 Special Terms

3. Terms and DefinitionsRegarding terms and definitions in this International Standard, the terms and definitions in ISO 472 and the following terms and definitions are used.

3.1 Abbreviated TermsA term derived by abbreviating part of the original term, when expressing the same concepts. (See ISO 1087: 1990).

3.2 PlasticsProducts or raw materials formed from plastic material for specified usage.

4. Symbols and Abbreviated TermsThe symbols and abbreviated terms in ISO 1043-1, ISO 1043-2, ISO 1043-3, and ISO 1043-4 are used in the Standard. If there are no appropriate symbols and abbreviated terms in ISO 1043, the effective National or International Standard symbols and abbreviated terms will be adopted.

5. Requirements5.1 Identification Methods5.1.1 Identification of Products

When identifying a plastic, use the appropriate standard symbol or abbreviated term located at a specific location on the product’s surface, between the following marks” >” and ”<”.Note: “>” and “<” mean “is more than” and “is less than”. They are usually regarded as upside-down triangle marks.

5.1.2 Unique Component ProductsProducts made from unique polymers or copolymers and identified according to the regulations in 5.1.1.

24

GB xxxx-200x

e.g. identification of Acrylonitrile-butadiene styrene polymer is : >ABS<

5.1.3 Compound or Mixed PolymersPlastics constituted from compound or mixed polymers shall be identified using appropriate

abbreviated terms. The main components are listed first and other components are listed in decreasing order of mass percentage. The components are separated with a dash or plus signs and identified according to the regulations in 5.1.1.e.g. a polymer composed of polycarbonate and Acrylonitrile-butadiene styrene: polycarbonate is the main component and Acrylonitrile-butadiene styrene is distributed within it. The identification is: >PC+ABS<

5.1.4 Composition containing Special Additives5.1.4.1 Filler or Enhancer

For a polymer containing a single type of filler or enhancing compound, abbreviated identification shall be used. A hyphen (a short dash) follows it, then the abbreviation or code name of the additive. According to the regulations of ISO 1043-2, the mass percentage shall be expressed according to the regulations in 5.1.1. The identification method is as follows:

e.g.1: Identification of polycarbonate containing 30% ore powder is:>PP-MD30<

For a compound containing more then one type of filler or enhancer, the additives shall be written inside brackets (parentheses) as expressed in e.g.2 and 3.

e.g.2: Identification of Polyamide 66 containing 15% ore powder and 25% fibreglass is:>PA66-(GF25+MD15)< or >PA66-(GF+MD)40<e.g.3: Identification of a thermoplastic with 50% ore powder & 25% fibreglass as a non-saturated poly acyl is:>UP-(MD50+GF25)< or >UP-(MD+GF)75<

5.1.4.2 PlasticizersA polymer containing plasticizers uses abbreviation identification: a hyphen follows it and the abbreviation of the plasticizers is put in brackets after “P”. See ISO 1043-3.

e.g. Identification of the plasticizer PVC containing Di-n-butyl phthalate is: >PVC-P(DBP)<

5.1.4.3 Flame RetardantA polymer containing a flame retardant uses abbreviation identification: a hyphen follows it and then the code of the flame retardant is put in brackets after “FR”. See ISO 1043-4.

e.g. Identification of Polyamide 66 containing 15% ore powder, 25% Fibreglass and red phosphorus flame retardant is:>PA66-(GF25+MD15)FR(52)< or >PA66-(GF+MD)40FR(52)<

5.1.4.4 Products containing 2 or more components that are difficult to separateSome components, of products composed of 2 or more, are not easy to see. The main identifiable material is marked first according to the regulations in 5.1.1., followed by the other materials. All the identifications are separated by commas and the main component is underlined.

e.g. A product composed of 3 components: an identifiable polyvinyl chloride layer is covered by Urethane, in addition to the main component Acrylonitrile-butadiene styrene. The

25

GB xxxx-200x

identification is: >PVC, PUR, ABS<

5.2 Identification MethodMaking the identification mark-------- add the appropriate mark to the mould during manufacture;-------- cause the mark to protrude from the surface, or dissolve and cut the mark into it, or use another method to produce an obvious and non-removable mark on the polymer.

ISO11014 Safety Data Sheet

Part I: Contents and Rules for all ChaptersFirst revision: 1994-03-15

ForewordISO (International Organisation for Standardisation) is a worldwide group consisting of the

standardisation institutions of various nations (ISO member institutions). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through ISO technical committees. Each member institution interested in a subject covered by a Technical Committee has the right to be represented on that committee. Official and non-official international organisations related to ISO may join it. ISO works closely with the International Electro-technical Commission (IEC) on all matters pertaining to electro-technical standardisation.

Draft International Standards, adopted by the Technical Committees, are circulated to the member bodies for voting. Promulgation of International Standards requires approval by at least 75% of the member bodies casting a vote.

International Standard ISO11014-1 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC47 - Chemistry.

ISO11014 consists of the following parts, under the general title ‘Safety Data Sheet for Chemical Products’: - Part 1: Content and Order of Sections - Part 2: Examples

Supplement A forms an integral part of this part of ISO11014.ISO 1994

Copyright reserved; excluding other regulations, contents of this publication cannot be copied and/or used through any electrical or mechanical method including photocopying and bibliofilm, without prior written permission from the publisher.International Organization for StandardizationPrinted in SwitzerlandIntroduction

The Safety Data Sheet for chemical products, SDS, gives information on various aspects of these chemical products (substances or mixtures) concerning safety, health and environmental protection. The SDS includes basic information of the chemical products and recommendations on protective measures and emergency actions. In some countries this sheet is called a Material Safety Data Sheet, MSDS. Throughout this part of ISO11014, the term SDS will be used.

The SDS is a means of transferring essential safety information (including data on transportation, handling, storage and emergency actions) from the supplier of a chemical product to the recipient of the product. It may also be used to transfer this information to institutions, services and other bodies that play a role in dealing with the chemical product.

The objective of this part of ISO11014 is to create consistency in providing information on safety, health and environmental matters for chemical products. In order to establish uniformity, certain requirements have been laid down as to how information on chemical products shall be given (e.g. wording, numbering and sequence of headings).

28

GB xxxx-200x

This part of ISO11014 provides flexibility to accommodate different text-processing and transmission systems.

This part of ISO11014 has been developed for worldwide application and follows the SDS model as outlined in EC commission directive 91/155/EEC. It defines and lays out detailed arrangements for setting out specific information relating to dangerous preparations, and includes the Chemical Manufacturing Association (CMA) interim guidelines for the preparation of Material Safety Data Sheets, with only minor deviations in the text of the section headings. It does not necessarily reflect or represent the different national or local regulatory requirements that may be specific to certain countries/states. It is therefore recommended that reviews outlining the different national or local regulatory requirements relevant to SDSs are made available to those who prepare them. The provision of this knowledge to SDS authors will enhance the establishment and acceptance of only one SDS per chemical product in different countries/states, enabling fully consistent information to be provided.

The obligations of the recipient of an SDS are beyond the scope of this part of ISO11014. Some of them are included, however, to clearly differentiate between the obligations of the SDS and those of the recipient of the SDS.

Safety Data Sheet for Chemical ProductsPart 1: Content and Order of Sections1. Scope

This part of ISO 11014 presents information for the compilation and completion of an SDS.It defines specifically:- general layout of the SDS:- 16 standard headings:- numbering and sequence of the 16 standard headings:- items necessary to complete an SDS & conditions of their applicability or utilization.This part of ISO11014 does not define a fixed format, nor does it include an actual SDS to be

completed.2. Reference

The following Standard contains provisions that, through reference in this text, constitute provisions of this part of ISO11014. At the time of publication, the edition indicated was valid. All Standards are subject to revision and all parties involved in agreements based on this part of ISO 11014 are encouraged to investigate the possibility of applying the most recent edition of the Standard indicated below. Members of IEC and ISO maintain registers of currently valid International Standards.

ISO 31-8: 1992, Quantities and Units - Part 8: Physical Chemistry & Molecular Physics.3. Definitions

For the purposes of this part of ISO11014, the following definitions apply. 3.1 Safety: Freedom from unacceptable risk of harm. 3.2 Risk: Probable rate of occurrence of a hazard causing harm & degree of severity of harm. 3.3 Hazard: Potential source of harm.3.4 Harm: Physical injury and/or damage to health or property. 3.5 Intended Use: Use of a product or process, under conditions or for purposes, in accordance

29

GB xxxx-200x

with specifications and instructions provided by the supplier, including information for publicity purposes.

3.6 Misuse (reasonably foreseeable): Use of a product or process, under conditions or for purposes not intended by the supplier but which may occur due to the design of the product in combination with, or as a result of, common human behaviour.

3.7 Supplier: Party responsible for making a chemical product available to a recipient.3.8 Recipient: Party receiving a chemical product for industrial or professional use, such as

storage, handling, processing or packaging, from a supplier.3.9 Substance - chemical: Chemical element and its compounds in their natural state or

obtained by any production process, including any additive necessary to preserve the stability of the product, and any impurity deriving from the process used but excluding any solvent which may be separated out without affecting the stability of the substance or changing its composition.

Note 1: The word “chemical” is used in the USA and Canada.3.10 Preparation - mixture: Mixture or solution composed of two or more substances.Note 2: The word “mixture” is used in the USA and Canada.3.11 Chemical product: Substance or preparation. 3.12 Component: Constituent of a chemical product.3.13 Exposure control: Full range of precautionary measures used to protect the user of the

chemical product.3.14 Item: Any textual information corresponding to a subheading in an SDS.

4. General Aspects- An SDS applies to a chemical product as a whole.- Information contained in an SDS is non-confidential.

Confidential information on components may be given in a different way, provided Section 2 of Supplement A is observed.

All suppliers should provide a complete SDS to the recipient and shall report relevant information on safety, health and environment. The supplier has an obligation to keep the SDS up to date and to provide the recipient with the most recent edition.

The recipient of an SDS is responsible for acting in accordance with risk assessment in regard to the conditions of product use, for taking necessary precautionary measures in a given work situation, and has a responsibility to keep the users informed about any hazards relevant to their individual workplace.

The recipient of an SDS is responsible for choosing the appropriate way of informing the users. When formulating specific instructions for the workplace, the recipient should consider the general recommendations of relevant SDSs.

Since an SDS is only product-related, it cannot take into account all the possible situations that may arise in any given workplace. Therefore an SDS only constitutes part of the information necessary to establish a safety programme.5. Contents and General Layout of an SDS

- An SDS shall provide the chemical product information given under the following 16 standard headings, the wording, numbering and sequence of which shall not be altered:

1. Product and Company Identification2. Component Composition/Information 3. Hazard Identification

30

GB xxxx-200x

4. First-aid Measures5. Fire-fighting Measures6. Accidental Release Measures7. Handling and Storage8. Exposure Controls/Personal Protection9. Physical and Chemical Properties10. Stability and Reactivity11. Toxicology12. Ecology13. Disposal Considerations14. Transportation15. Regulatory Information16. Other InformationUnder each of the 16 standard headings, relevant information shall be stated. If this information is

not available, then the reason shall be stated. Blank spaces shall not be left, except under standard heading No 16 “Other information”, where a blank is allowed. In an SDS, the sources of information do not normally have to be specified.

The 16 sections corresponding to the 16 standard headings shall be completed in accordance with the recommendations and requirements of Supplement A “Instructions for the Compilation and Completion of an SDS”.

These 16 sections may be subdivided by means of subheadings. However, unlike the 16 standard headings, the subheadings shall not be numbered.

The use of subheadings, where appropriate, is recommended. When subheadings or items are given, they shall be given in the sequence specified in Supplement A.

Every page of an SDS shall include the name of the chemical product, as used on the label, and shall be dated and numbered. The page numbering system should include the total number of pages or should indicate the last page. The date indicated shall be the latest revision date.

The 16 sections shall be clearly separated. The headings and subheadings shall be presented in a conspicuous way.

Text in an SDS should be written in a clear and concise manner. Commonly used phrases are recommended. An SDS should be in a language acceptable to the recipient.

Instructions for the Compilation and Completion of an SDSThe following instructions are intended as guidance for the compilation and completion of SDSs.

Their purpose is to ensure that the content of each of the sections listed will enable recipients to take the necessary measures relating to safety, protection of health at the workplace and protection of the environment.

- 16 sections of an SDS shall be completed in accordance with the recommendations and requirements of this Supplement.- This Supplement lists the main items to be used to complete the 16 sections. It lists the main

items only because it is impracticable to list all items which may be included in an SDS.- The main items may be used as subheadings in an SDS. If they are used, the wording given is recommended, not obligatory. The preferred wording is underlined. Other items may be used as subheadings but are not recommended.
