About This Item
TS 1168 is a standard concerned with the symbolic representation of terms relating to plastics. In plastics engineering and materials documentation, symbols are used to shorten technical wording, improve consistency, and support a common language for identifying and describing materials. This document focuses on that symbol-based expression of plastics terminology.
The role of symbols in plastics terminology
In general technical practice, symbolic notation helps communicate material type, structure, or context quickly and consistently. It is especially useful in drawings, catalogues, labels, and technical files where compact notation matters. It also supports communication across multilingual environments by providing a shared reference form. The subject of this standard is the symbol set used for terms relating to plastics.
TS 1168 is based on ISO 1043:1978, so it aligns with the broader international approach to plastics nomenclature and notation. The key idea is that a symbol is not just an abbreviation, but a controlled representation of a technical term. In practical terms, this helps reduce ambiguity in material selection, documentation, and technical communication.
