1.1本分类体系涵盖称为聚苯醚和聚苯氧化物的基本聚合物和共聚物，以及填充、改性和增强型。本标准将回收材料列为表PPE的5级。 笔记 1-向天然聚合物或共聚物中添加颜料、着色剂或其他添加剂可能会导致最终组合物不再满足天然聚合物或共聚物的规定要求。 笔记 2-如术语中所述，聚苯醚的首选缩写为PPE D1600 . 1.2本分类系统和随后的线形标注（规范）旨在提供一种方法，指出用于制造成品或零件的塑料材料。 它不用于选择材料。材料选择应由在塑料领域具有专业知识的人员在仔细考虑零件所需的设计和性能、其将暴露的环境、将采用的制造工艺、所涉及的成本和材料的固有特性（本标准所涵盖的除外）后进行。 1.3可能有其他必要的要求，以确定对特定应用重要的特定特性。这些将通过使用第5节中描述的后缀来指定。 1.4以国际单位制表示的数值应视为标准。 笔记 3-没有已知的ISO等同于本标准。

1.1 This classification system covers the basic polymers and copolymers known as polyphenylene ethers and polyphenylene oxides, as well as filled, modified, and reinforced versions. Recycled materials are included in this standard as Class 5 of Table PPE. Note 1—Addition to the natural polymer or copolymer of pigments, colorants, or other additives can cause the final composition to no longer meet the requirements specified for the natural polymer or copolymer. Note 2—The preferred abbreviation for polyphenylene ether is PPE, as noted in Terminology D1600 . 1.2 This classification system and subsequent line callout (specification) are intended to provide a means of calling out plastic materials used in the fabrication of end items or parts. It is not intended for the selection of materials. Material selection should be made by those having expertise in the plastic field after careful consideration of the design and the performance required of the part, the environment to which it will be exposed, the fabrication process to be employed, the costs involved, and the inherent properties of the material other than those covered by this standard. 1.3 There may be other requirements necessary to identify particular characteristics important to specific applications. These are to be specified by using the suffixes described in Section 5. 1.4 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as the standard. Note 3—There is no known ISO equivalent to this standard.
