1.1 This specification covers poly(methyl methacrylate) rods, tubes, and other shapes produced by casting or machining cast blanks. This specification does not apply to heat-formed and molded or extruded parts and shapes, or sections that are made by assembling or joining two or more pieces. NOTE 1—The properties included in this specification are those required to identify the types and grades of materials covered. There may be other requirements necessary to identify particular characteristics.
1.2 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as standard.
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. NOTE 2—There is no known ISO equivalent to this standard.
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.
