Standards for Plastics in Industry Explained

Buyers often arrive with a standard in mind. This page explains the codes people ask for across machine building, electrotechnical, and construction. We translate each requirement into practical design choices, suitable materials, and documentation. Then we cut and machine parts to drawing and supply a Certificate of Conformity.

Explore Standards By Requirement

Choose the code that fits your project. Each card explains what it covers, where it applies, and how to specify materials and parts. Start with IP or IK, then review UL 94, Glow Wire, CTI, Ball Pressure, RoHS and REACH, and Food Contact.
Which Standard Do I Need

Which Standard Do I Need

  • Sealing against dust and water: choose IP
  • Resistance to impact or vandal risk: choose IK
  • Material flame performance: choose UL 94 plus tested thickness
  • Hot part ignition risk near live elements: choose Glow Wire
  • Insulation near busbars and terminals: choose CTI class
  • Heat resistance under load in equipment: choose Ball Pressure
  • Substance declarations for EU: confirm RoHS and REACH
  • Food contact applications: confirm EU food contact rules
RFQ Checklist

RFQ Checklist

  • Target standard and class for example IP66 or IPX9 or IK10 or UL 94 V 0 at one point five millimeters
  • Part material thickness finish and tolerances
  • Environment chemicals cleaning pressure and temperature
  • Gasket type clamp force fastener pattern and torque if known
  • Documentation needed for example Certificate of Conformity supplier test reports
  • Drawings and quantities
