ISO 1043-3:2016为塑化剂相关术语的组成部分提供了统一的符号，以形成缩写术语。一般来说，它只包括那些已经使用的缩写词。 ISO 1043-3:2016的目的是防止给定增塑剂出现多个缩写词。这些符号主要用于在出版物和其他书面材料中形成化学名称缩写。

ISO 1043-3:2016 provides uniform symbols for components of terms relating to plasticizers to form abbreviated terms. It includes, in general, only those abbreviated terms that have come into established use. The purpose of ISO 1043-3:2016 is to prevent the occurrence of more than one abbreviated term for a given plasticizer. The symbols are primarily intended to be convenient shorthand for forming abbreviated terms for chemical names in publications and other written matter.
