ISO 868 is an international standard that defines the characteristics of thermoplastic materials used in engineering. This standard covers specifications for unplasticized polyvinyl chloride (uPVC), polycarbonate (PC), acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene (ABS), and other thermoplastic materials, including their dimensional stability, strength, and temperature resistance. Manufacturers and designers of plastic products primarily use it to ensure consistent quality and performance across different products and applications.

DIN EN ISO 868 is the German national adoption of the international ISO 868 standard. It specifies the requirements and test methods for thermoplastics used in engineering applications and covers the same material characteristics as the ISO 868 standard. The “DIN EN” designation indicates that it is a European standard harmonized across the European Union (EU) countries. This standard ensures that plastic products manufactured in Germany or other EU countries meet the same basic requirements for quality, performance, and safety.

NextGen’s Advanced Portable Shore Durometer System complies with DIN EN ISO 868 standard.
