Abstract

This report reviews progress on standardisation of test methods, material specifications and product standards for polymeric matrix composites containing “long” fibres during the period April 2002 to March 2003. Long fibre composites are defined by NPL in ISO standards “as those containing fibres with a length greater than 7.5 mm in the starting material or compound”. Several standardisation “levels”, see below, of increasing complexity exist that contribute to the testing and traceability of any final composite product. Good progress was made at several levels with new documents published that were influenced by NPL research and standards work (i.e. relevant levels indicated below by asterisks). Several new composite final product standards were published in 2001/2002 that are important for the progress of the industry.
