1.1 This classification covers antidegradants used in rubber and where appropriate defines their important chemical and physical characteristics for use in rubber.
1.2 The general term “antidegradant” describes materials used in rubber to protect against the effects of oxygen and ozone. Materials that fall in this general category include both antioxidants and antiozonants.
1.3 This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety, health, and environmental practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.
1.4 This international standard was developed in accordance with internationally recognized principles on standardization established in the Decision on Principles for the Development of International Standards, Guides and Recommendations issued by the World Trade Organization Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT) Committee.
