1.OBJECT AND FIELD OF APPLICATION

This standard makes it possible to translate the characteristics of a material in the form of a code to :
• define the tests to be carried out to classify the material,
• specify the criteria having to be filled by the material during the development of a given part.
It applies to the materials thermoplastic, thermosetting, rubbers and elastomers thermoplastic, rigid or flexible,
compact or reduced, beefed up or not. The honeycombed materials, the ropes and the fibres are the subject of
specific standards.
The materials being the subject of a procedure of setting in "Fiche Technique Matière" (FTM) must be classified
according to the present standard.
Note: The thermoplastic elastomers are included in this standard. A material is regarded as such if it shows the
following characteristics:
• a permanent set with the drive lower than 75 % pennies 20 % of lengthening after 70 h ± 1 h with
23 °C ± 2 °C according to the test method D45 1231,
• a resistance to ozone high grade quality or equalizes to 72 h, time of appearance of the hair cracks,
under 200 ppcm according to the test method D47 1100.
Unless otherwise specified, the tests must be realized on test-tubes taken in the perpendicular direction within the
meaning of shot.

constantly up-dated.
3.1.DEFINITIONS
Not applicable.
3.2.ACRONYMS
For the requirements of this norme, the following acronyms are defined. :
DRC : Residuel Deformation at Compression
DRT : Residuel Deformation at Traction
SPA : Specifications Products Approuved (standard X)
FTM : "Fiche Technique Matière" Technical data sheet Material
4.PRINCIPLE
The requirements are declined according to the services ensured by material in term of:
• Regulation and Consumérisme,
• Aspect with nine,
• Conservation of the characteristics after ageing without use,
• Conservation of the characteristics after ageing with use,
• Compliance with the straight edges trade PSA,
• Technical characteristics (mechanical, thermal, etc)..
Particular and complementary criteria from which certain specific to thermoplastic elastomers or rubbers then come
to supplement this coding.
In addition, the principal requirements are the subject of a classification allowing their traceability according to the
system of Automobile Engineering System. Example: MAT_EXT_VIS_324 for staining by the automobile fluids.
Those are identified by a code of the type MAT_XXX_YYY_ZZZ, with:
• DULL COLOUR for material
• XXX which makes it possible to locate the application (perimeter)
VEH for all the vehicle
INT for the interior applications
EXT. for the external applications
SCM for the applications under bonnet engines
• YYY which specifies the localisation
TMA for all the applications of the perimeter
SCREW for the visible applications of the perimeter
NVI for the nonvisible applications of the perimeter
• ZZZ which indicates a serial number
The level of respect of the requirement is then specified by an alphanumeric code.
