The ISO 10350 series identifies specific test procedures for the acquisition and presentation of comparable data for certain basic properties of plastics. In general, each property is specified by a single experimental value, although in certain cases properties are represented by two values obtained under different test conditions. The properties included are those presented conventionally in manufacturers' data sheets. This document applies predominantly to unreinforced and reinforced thermoplastic and thermosetting materials that may be injection- or compression-moulded or prepared as sheets of specified thickness.

NOTE ISO 10350-2 deals specifically with long- or continuous-fibre-reinforced plastics. For the purpose of this document, long-fibre-reinforced plastics are considered to have fibre length greater than 7,5 mm prior to moulding.
