This International Standard identifies specific test procedures for the acquisition and presentation of comparable multi-point data for selected properties of rubber compounds. The data for each property are generated, using a single test method, as a function of important variables such as time, temperature and environmental effects. An important application of this International Standard consists in helping different suppliers produce material specification sheets in which the same set of properties is measured using the same conditions.

Guidance on the interpretation of results is given in Annex A.
