EN 15860:2010 – Plastics – Thermoplastic semi-finished products for machining – Requirements and test methods
1 Scope
This European Standard specifies the requirements and associated test methods that apply to semifinished products such as rods, hollow bars and plates made from thermoplastic materials. These semifinished products are used predominantly for the manufacture of finished parts by means of machining.
