Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide
federation of national Standards bodies (ISO member bodies). The work
of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through ISO
technical committees. Esch member body interested in a subject for
which a technical committee has been established has the right to be
represented on that committee. International organizations, governmental
and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. ISO
collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission
(IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization.
Draft International Standards adopted by the technical committees are
circulated to the member bodies for voting. Publication as an International
Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the member bodies casting
a vote.
International Standard ISO 4613-1 was prepared by Technical Committee
lSO/TC 61, Plastics, Sub-Committee SC 9, Thermoplastic materials.
This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition
(ISO 4613-1 :1985), which has been brought into accordance with the re-
vised frame text for designation Standards.
ISO 4613 consists of the following Parts, under the general title
Plas tics - Ethylene/vnyl acetate (E/VAC) moulding and extrusion materi-
als:
- Part 1: Designation and specification
- Part 2: Preparation of test specimens and determination of proper-
ties

Plastics - Ethylene/vinyl acetate (E/VAC) moulding
and extrusion materials -
Part 1:
Designation and specification
1 Scope
1.1 This part of ISO 4613 establishes a System of designation for ethylene/vinyl acetate thermoplastic material,
which may be used as the basis for specifications.
1.2 The types of E/VAC plastics are differentiated from each other by a classification System based on appro-
priate levels of the designatory properties
a) Vinyl acetate content
b) melt flow rate
and on information about intended application and/or method of processing, important properties, additives,
colorants, fillers and reinforcing materials.
1.3 This part of ISO 4613 is applicable to all ethylene Vinyl acetate copolymers containing from 3 % (m/m) to
50 % (m/m) (approximately 25 % molar) of Vinyl acetate.
lt applies to materials ready for normal use in the form of powder, granules or pellets and to materials unmodified
or modified by colorants, additives, fillers, etc.
1.4 lt is not intended to imply that materials having the same designation give necessarily the same perform-
ante. This part of ISO 4613 does not provide engineering data, Performance data or data on processing conditions
which may be required to specify a material for a particular application and/or method of processing.
If such additional properties are required, they shall be determined in accordance with the test methods specified
In ISO 4613-2, if suitable.
1.5 In Order to specify a thermoplastic material for a particular application or to ensure reproducible processing,
additional requirements may be given in data block 5 (see clause 3, introductory Paragraph).

3 Qesignation and specification system
Pattern:
The designation and specification System for thermoplastics is based on the following standardized
Designation
lndividuakm block
Internationall
The designation consists of an optional description block, reading “Thermoplastics”, and an identity block com-
prising the International Standard number and an individual-item block. For unambiguous coding, the individual-item
block is subdivided into 5 data blocks comprising the following information:
- Data block 1: Identification of the plastic by its Symbol E/VAC in accordance with ISO 1043-1 and in-
formation about the polymerization process or composition of the polymer (see 3.1).
- Data block 2: Position 1: Intended application or method of processing (see 3.2).
