    Abstract - (Show below) - (Hide below)

    Guidance for designers and users of rubber products on the properties of rubbers and the associated test methods, and on the terms used in the rubber industry.

    Scope - (Show below) - (Hide below)

    This British Standard gives designers and users of rubber products guidance on the properties and types of rubber, associated test methods and terms used in the rubber industry. It draws attention to relevant British Standards in this field. Guidance is also included on designing a rubber component for a particular end-use.

    NOTE The titles of the publications referred to in this standard are listed on the inside back cover.
