This part of EN 14598 specifies the requirements for physical and chemical properties of Sheet moulding
Compounds (SMC) and Bulk Moulding Compound (BMC) and compression or injection moulded specimens. The
selection in this part is limited to those materials the composition and properties of which are significantly different.
Furthermore the selection is limited to those materials which are of more general technical and/or economical
importance.
The properties which are used for the characterization of the moulding compounds, the test methods and the test
conditions are based on Part 2 of this document. The list of properties is selected, initially, from those general test
methods found in EN ISO 10350-2, Plastics - Acquisition and presentation of comparable single-point data ¿
Part 2: Long-fibre-reinforced plastics (ISO 10350-2:2001).
The moulding compounds are divided into types corresponding to their composition and properties. The
designation of the types of moulding compounds is based on Part 1 - Designation of this document.
In diesem Teil von EN 14598 werden die Anforderungen an physikalische und chemische Eigenschaften von Herzmatten (SMC) und faserverstärkten Pressmassen (BMC) und daraus formgepressten oder spritzgegossenen Probekörpern festgelegt. Die Auswahl ist in diesem Teil auf solche Formmassen begrenzt, deren Zusammensetzung und Eigenschaften sich deutlich unterscheiden. Außerdem ist die Auswahl auf Formmassen begrenzt, die von allgemeinerer technischer und/oder wirtschaftlicher Bedeutung sind.
